about

“One of the world’s finest song writers, the world just doesn’t know it yet. Which is why I will continue to play his music on BBC Introducing” – Alan Raw – BBC Introducing Presenter

A humble and honest poet, Jody McKenna delivers beautifully crafted acoustic music inspired by songwriters of all eras, from Dylan to Bright Eyes.

His Debut album ‘The North Wind’ is a collection of his early solo work that was recorded during his time spent in local studios with good friends who offer subtle musical embellishments which compliments these early songs.
The North Wind is an album full of innocence and integrity, which has opened Jody’s music to thousands of people since its CD release furthering Jody’s musical journey from his flat in Hull to now hosting sell out shows and winning over crowds at festivals such as Freedom, Beverley Folk Festival and Galtres with his new band.

Much of this happened after Jody’s appearance on Channel 4’s ‘The Secret Millionaire’ where he helped local youth project The Warren receive £20,000 from businessman Martin Stamp. The money helped set up Warren Records and enabled the project to further support and develop local musicans.

“Unmissable. Beautifully crafted songs wrapped up in Jody's gorgeous vocals. We always look forward to receiving Jody’s songs and have played every track he has ever sent us.” – Katy Noone – BBC Introducing Producer

“Jody McKenna is supremely talented with depth and honesty to his songs.” – Alex Ker-Wilson – Discovery Talent London

Mind Made Of Music Blog Review:
Unbelievably 'The North Wind' is Jody McKenna's debut album release in the fact that it is such a strong, tempered record. The style & accuracy that McKenna brings to his music feel like that of a bygone age.

From the opening chords of 'Sleeping Out All Night' you feel yourself being taken into a world purely of McKenna's control; your senses becoming overpowered by one of the most intensely delicate albums I have heard in recent times.

The heartache of songs such as 'A Thousand Echoes' & 'The Howling' entwine with the more elaborate tales such as 'Mist & Confusion' & 'Bending Reality' to create a descriptive cocktail, a mellow sharp shot to the emotions.

To pick out individual tracks would to be pick a favourite chapter in an elaborate narrative. 'The North Wind' benefits from the space allowed to it on the back of successful expeditions of its predecessors but rides the coat-tails of the current folk movement.” – Andy Tullock
