Details:
It would be a cliché to say that Jennings Dulin was playing country before country was cool. Itâs just that country music just happened to become what âJDâ already was. Jennings has been carving a niche for himself since the early 80âs, from Music Row in Nashville to the pig-roast circuit in the Shenandoah Valley. His songs âMadison Moonshineâ and âWood Trollsâ had been in rotation on WSLA in Louisa, Virginia and captured the imagination of the stations audience, which ran up and down Virginiaâs Shenandoah Valley . JD found himself in demand on an endless circuit of pig roasts, barbecues and âmountain partiesâ as well as club dates and opening slots for artist such as Travis Tritt.

A powerful guitarist with a rich, whiskey tinged, barroom baritone, JD has forged a writing style that captures the true character and spirit of âcountryâ. He can spin out a âtears in my beerâ ballad with the best of them but itâs his songs that speak of real life in rural America that sets his music apart from the more formulaic country writers of today. âMadison Moonshineâ and âWood Trollsâ have received numerous awards in national songwriting competitions and have been pitched to national country artists by Sony /Tree publishing in Nashville.

With the current popularity of country music, JD is finding a wider audience for his music. His âIn The Cityâ received a certificate of achievement from Billboard Magazine and demonstrates his shift to more universal themes from his country roots. His crossover ballad âAsh, Dust and Dirtâ won second place in the Folk division and Honorable mention in the Country division in the Mid Atlantic Song Contest and was included on their annual winners compilation CD.

JD has been hailed by Country Plus Magazine for his âgreat songs, great singing and great guitar playing.â Itâs all true. His recordings bear it out. His live shows bear it out. His writing bears it out. And with todays country music being absorbed into pop, folk and rock, more and more audiences are finding in Jennings Dulin the things that are good about country music.
