ABOUT

Jenna McClelland, a songwriter-showman from Mobile, AL, hails from a musical lineage, with her late father, Billy Earl McClelland, being a notable songwriter and guitarist. Since 2013, Jenna has crafted her own music, gaining recognition in the Southeast for her dynamic performances. Starting in Maryville, TN, she transitioned from local venues to larger stages, earning praise for her energetic shows and unique renditions of familiar songs. In 2016, Jenna moved to Nashville, expanding her career and gracing iconic stages alongside renowned musicians. Returning to Alabama, she formed a band with drummer Travis Patch, becoming a Gulf Coast favorite.

In February 2022, Jenna's journey took a turn when hit songwriter Elvie Shane offered her a touring backup vocal position. Touring with The Broken Arrows, they shared stages with artists like Brooks and Dunn, Dierks Bentley, and more. Jenna was featured on Elvie's single "Jonesin'" in July 2023. Despite the success, a divine intervention led Jenna back to the lead mic.

Jenna McClelland enters a fresh chapter in 2024 with her revamped Gulf Coast band, bringing a new sonic identity to life as they record her original tracks. Mark your calendars for February 29th, 2024, when the first single, "You Should Let Her," drops on all platforms. Click here to pre-save the song on Spotify.
