House Sessions - Live in the Velvet Room - Jenny & The Weazels

  • Wayfarer - Velvet Room 386 Main Street Tazewell, VA, 24651 United States (map)

Jenny and the Weazels craft a rich tapestry of Celtic sound, fusing ancient traditions with a modern, Appalachian sensibility. Known for their passionate performances and tight musical interplay, the trio weaves unique driving tunes, heartfelt vocals, and rhythmic power into a distinctive and engaging live experience. 

The group features Rheva Myhre on fiddle, who studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland; Keegan Luckey-Smith on bouzouki, guitar, banjo, and lead vocals; and Jamie McDermott on bodhrán and flute. The three first met in 2014 at East Tennessee State University’s acclaimed Bluegrass, Celtic, Old-Time, and Country music studies program. After years of informal collaboration, the trio formed Jenny and the Weazels in 2024.

Their sets range from blazing fast reels and jigs to unique waltzes, polkas and strathspeys coupled with a carefully curated selection of songs from both sides of the pond. Each performance is a journey through Celtic traditions, grounded in the cultural crossroads of East Tennessee.
