Greg Greenway and Jenna Nicholls

The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents Greg Greenway and Jenna Nicholls

Born in Richmond, VA, Greg Greenway moved to Boston and became a standout voice in its folk music scene. Influenced by Richie Havens and Eric Andersen, he developed a genre-defying, multi-instrumental style blending folk, gospel, rock, blues, jazz, and world music. He has performed at Carnegie Hall and appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered and Mountain Stage, though he cites hearing his song “Driving in Massachusetts” on Car Talk as a personal highlight.
Greenway’s eight-year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun produced two #1 Folk DJ albums and reached wide audiences. His current project with Reggie Harris, Deeper Than The Skin, explores race and shared history in America. Widely praised, critics hail him as a powerful, genre-crossing artist with exceptional stage presence.

The music of genre-blending singer-songwriter Jenna Nicholls evokes the golden age of the American Songbook, infused with the spirit of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, and vintage Americana. A multi-instrumentalist with four acclaimed albums to her name, Jenna crafts songs that feel both timeless and fresh, blending rich storytelling, cinematic imagery, and an unmistakable voice.
Her latest release, The Commuter, produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell, further showcases her gift for reimagining American roots music for modern audiences. A winner of multiple songwriting competitions, Jenna has toured with Ingrid Michaelson, Glen Hansard, Lucius, and Joan as Policewoman, performing at iconic venues including Carnegie Hall and the Beacon Theatre. With every note, Jenna Nicholls invites listeners into a world where old souls speak, hearts break, and stories live on in song.
