Jenny Reynolds is an American folk singer-songwriter. She began her career performing at open mics in the Boston area in the early 1990s, while working as a high-school English teacher. After several years of performing, she quit teaching to pursue music full-time, though she continues to do creative writing workshops with schoolchildren. She moved to Austin, Texas in 2003, and was a Kerrville New Folk Finalist the same year.
Her song "Whisper" appeared on a Signature Sounds compilation CD titled Respond. The release, which also featured tracks by Lori McKenna, Catie Curtis, Jennifer Kimball, and others, raised money for domestic violence causes.
