"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - Hunter S. Thompson |

"Jenni's on top of it." James McMurtry "Jenni is the very best at what she does. There's no one more knowledgeable about the music, and when I see I have a package in the mail from Jenni, I immediately listen to it." Vicki Pepper, ALTVILLE “Jenni Finlay proves you can be hundreds of miles outside Nashville and get the job done with aplomb. We worked on the current James McMurtry album together and through a rare combination of great music, non-stop touring, press and radio, James made a estimable career comeback. The radio story grew weekly until James topped the charts for weeks. He remained on the chart for months. The level of sustained interest at radio proved there was a star behind the scenes as well as one onstage. I would recommend Jenni as a first-rate Americana radio specialist in a heartbeat.” Cary Baker, President, conqueroo "Jenni Finlay CARES! All too rare, these days. She can do no wrong." Gurf Morlix "Jenni Finlay is a total pro and a pleasure to work with. Long may she reign!!” Jeremy Tepper, Outlaw Country, SIRIUS Satellite Radio "Jenni gets the job done. She says what she's gonna do and then does it ... with a winning smile and easy grace. She's friendly, approachable, and exactly the type of person I want representing my music." Terri Hendrix "The energy that Jenni brings to her job, her records and her life is contagious! Her passion and heart are apparent in everything she does."

Chris Thomas, President, Palo Duro Records "Strong, Smart, Honest and with that great ear for finding magic in it all, Jenni is simply amazing!!!!!!" Rick Star, KFAN PD "Radio promotion is a tricky business. Are you really getting the bang for your buck.....At least you can feel good about forking over the promo money if you are working with someone who's trustworthy.....Jenni Finlay is that and more.....She cares about the artist. She knows how tight budgets are nowadays and sees to it that the artist's promo money is spent wisely......I travel all over the country and do a lot of on-air interviews at various radio stations...I mention Jenni's name and always get a positive response......that's a good thing for her artists. Good work Jenni." Lloyd Maines "Jenni is our secret weapon." Noel McKay, The McKay Brothers "Jenni has been a joy to work with. She is sweet and easy to deal with, yet persistent. Whenever I have needed to coordinate an event or promotion with her, she has been on top of it." Duncan Hudson, KXCI MD “For an artist, the greatest gift is to be able to concentrate on writing and performing while knowing that someone else is making the right calls on his behalf. Thanks to Jenni, I have that luxury. Her results have been incredible and the difference she has made in my career is astonishing. She makes this fun!!!” Jason Eady "As a radio professional, we get to work with some truly great, talented and passionate people from time to time! Jenni is that and more.

Walt Wilkins "Jenni is passionate about music and a true joy to work with. I consider her to be a LIGHT in this crazy business." Kelley Peterson, KHKX MD "Most likely, you won't ever find Jenni promoting the current dance track. Jenni is dedicated to getting important music on the radio. James McMurtry's "We Can't Make It Here" is the perfect example. Her passion for this music is undeniable." Jody Denberg, KGSR PD "In my long association with Jenni Finlay Promotions as Music Director for WSGE, I've never known anyone more passionate about the artists they represent. I know I can trust that enthusiasm and have faith in the recommendations made as knowledgeable, consistent and effective. She almost makes Music Call Day' something one can look forward to.....but let's not get crazy here. ” Cliff Anderson, WSGE MD "Jenni is very pleasant to work with. That's not always true in this business. She is very professional and works great music. Jenni makes it easy." Jeff Powell, WGWG MD "I love Jenni Finlay." Sam Baker "One of the best things about playing local roots music on KILT is working with people who are as passionate about growing the audience for these artists as I. In Jenni, I know I've run across someone as like minded." Leslie T Travis, KILT "I wish all the music promoters were as nice and professional as Jenni. She truly is one of the best in the business!" Brian Craig, WEVL PD "Jenni has always been there for the artist and for the radio station. In all my years, I have never heard anyone say a bad word about her. Come to think of it, I've never heard her say a bad word about anybody either. Jenni is a hard working, self motivated person that should be cloned and sold to the highest bidders." JB Cloud, KBCY PD "Jenni is a diligent, detail oriented promo person. Things arrive on time, artists show up where and when they're scheduled, and it's all Jenni's doing!"

It is a pleasure." Mattson Rainer, KNBT PD "Jenni took my debut cd, The Bootlegger's Daughter, and put an previously totally unknown artist into the top-40 on the AMA chart. What more needs to be said?" Rachel Harrington “Jenni Finlay rocks out loud! I’ve worked with Jenni and her talented roster for a number of years now, and am continually impressed with both her professionalism and affability. She can always be relied for the information, the outstanding music, and the timely interviews that are the lifeline of good radio. I’d recommend her to anyone seeking essential airwaves exposure, especially in the burgeoning Americana genre.” Linda East Brady, KRCL radio host/music journalist "Unless his daddy owns the radio station, every Program Director knows the value of a great Record Promotion Person. In today's competitive environment, a communications lifeline between proactive radio stations and the artists who create hit records is essential. I value my relationships with the handful of Record Promoters I've come to trust...it's the difference between my success and my early retirement. Jenni Finlay is the consummate Promotions Pro." John Hendricks, music consultant "She's a super force. I've been fortunate to have someone as smart, enthusiastic, and energizing as Jenni working radio on my behalf. I wouldn't have it any other way." Randy Weeks "Jenni is one of my favorite promoters. Jenni is professional, motivated and responsive and has great heart and spirit. ...not to mention that she's a truly delightful person. It has been a pleasure to work with her."

She is one of my favorite folks in the business today." Shaun Harvey, DigNDirt Productions "I’ve worked with Jenni on a bunch of radio promotions and events. She has been extremely helpful and very enthusiastic on all fronts. Jenni also goes out of her way to ensure that her end of the deal is upheld, and eager to know the outcome!"
