Singer-songwriter Jenny Gill is set to release her debut EP, The House Sessions, on Feb. 17, and she will welcome several top-notch musicians for the project, including Sheryl Crow, Willie Weeks, Jack Pearson and Jon Randall.
Gill had a hand in writing five of the six tracks on the project, which incorporates a range of influences, from blues, Americana and country.
“Every song on this project takes me to somewhere in my past,” she says. “My favorite songs to write are those that reflect personal experiences instead of just telling a story.”
Gill is the daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame member Vince Gill and Sweethearts of the Rodeo’s Janis Oliver. Gill has spent the past six years touring as a backup singer for her step-mother, Christian artist Amy Grant.
“People have a preconceived perception of me because of my name, that I am country or that my talent should be at a certain place because of my parents’ accomplishments,” she says. “It’s hard to get people to notice you on your own and not for being a plus-one. So that is what The House Sessions is attempting to do. I am done waiting in the wings wondering what could happen. I’m ready to try and build something all on my own.”
