Spinning Jennies

The Spinning Jennies were one of the longest-lived bands to spring out of the California-based independent pop scene of the late 1990s, although they were based in the Bay Area, and not L.A., like most of their peers. The pop underground scene was defined by the still-running International Pop Overthrow festivals, which the Spinning Jennies played at many times. Formed in 1993, the original line up contained drummer Dave Friel, bassist Doug Free, and songwriter/guitarist/lead vocalist Jeff Shelton.
