Tolman shares, “I loved getting to make something super out of the box with this music video for ‘I Know Some Cowboys.’ The song’s premise offers itself to something very playful, visually. So, after searching around for the right director, I landed on Grant Claire, who was also the DP for my music video on ‘There Goes the Neighborhood,’ and he totally got the energy of what we were trying to get out of the song! (And obviously understands my sense of humor, from our past project together- haha) He sent me this whacky premise of the green screen, big/little people, and I was obsessed with it! The shooting day was a blast, and Grant worked his wizard magic to make it all come together as cool as you see it on your screen! I’m so excited to share this with everyone!” Watch now: Irreverent, quirky and wildly entertaining, country newcomer Jenny Tolman is poised to take over Music City, with a razor-sharp wit and throwback sound. Her debut album There Goes the Neighborhood lit up Nashville in 2020. The 13-song collection—with titles like “High Class White Trash” and “Till My Tank Is Empty” delivers engaging snapshots of small-town life in the fictional Jennyville. Tolman, a Nashville native, started singing even before she can remember and began playing piano by ear at age 3. “I would come home from church, sit at the piano and plunk out the songs we had just sang,” she explains. “By the time I was in middle school,” she adds, “I loved to write stories. I began playing the flute in fifth grade and was the first chair in my high school concert band. Then when I was 16, everything came together when I got a guitar,” she says. “It was like this lightbulb moment when I realized I could put together everything I loved to do—singing, music, writing … and be a country music singer-songwriter!” This past year, in an effort to stay busy during quarantine, Tolman has turned to another love—cooking. Her YouTube show “Quarantine Kitchen” has become so popular that it is segueing into a new format. “Hey Good Cookin’,” features Tolman’s favorite gluten-, dairy- and egg-free versions of “comfort foods.” You may have caught Tolman recently on Fox & Friends performing another new single “Lonely in the Lonestar.” She also was honored to be invited by family and friends of American hero Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum to perform at his memorial service Saturday, Oct. 23 in McCollum’s hometown of Jackson, Wyoming. At the family’s request, she sang “Lonely in the Lone Star.” Tolman and co-writers have donated all proceeds from the song to Rylee’s family, plus the families of the other 12 soldiers who died in Kabul. Next, do people who are tone-deaf hear music differently?
