Jenny and Nathan have three musical groups; The Jenny Wilson Jazz Trio, Jenny and Nathan Jazz Duo, and Tupelo Honey.

 

The JAZZ DUO and JAZZ TRIO play the same music; jazz standard, contemporary jazz, and original jazz compositions. The difference between the two groups is the addition of drummer and son, Evan Lintz, in the trio.

 

TUPELO HONEY is an acoustic pop group. Jenny plays acoustic guitar while Nathan plays electric fretless bass. They both sing and harmonize with one another, singing songs from the songbooks of James Taylor, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Motown.
