Musical Performance
Musical performance by Jenny & Tyler, a husband-wife pop-folk band based in Nashville, Tennessee. The duo has independently released three full-length albums and two EPs. Their music invites listeners to engage the tensions of the gray areas of life and to bring it all into a dialogue with God. Instead of glossing over them, they wrestle issues like poverty, injustice and apathy- starting with their own.
Jenny & Tyler describe their album, Faint Not as a “chronicle of their journey of faith, from God’s pursuit of us, to first believing, to the really high highs and the really low lows; it’s an honest telling of our relationship with the Lord and with each other. As writers, songs allow us to communicate experience and truths when we can’t find the words to speak them. Our hope is that the songs will resonate with you.” Find out more about Jenny & Tyler and listen to their new album “Open Your Doors” on their website: http://jennyandtyler.com.
