City Vineyard presents Jill Hennessy: Ghosts In My Head live on Saturday March 28th, 2026 at 7:00 PM(opens in a new tab).

Singer/songwriter, Jill Hennessy, is mostly known for her acting on Law & Order and her star turn on Crossing Jordan. She should be more widely recognized for her music career …. that’s where it all started….. Busking on the streets of Toronto as a 17 year old explorer. She wrote all of the music and lyrics on her debut album, Ghost In My Head and she performed on the Lilith Tour with Sarah McLachlan, The Indigo Girls and the Dixie Chicks and was featured on The Indigo Girls’ live album “Staring Down The Brilliant Dream”.

Dave Marsh from Sirius XM Radio wrote “Ghost In My Head would be an impressive achievement if it came from someone who’d made a lot of records. As a debut, it’s startling— the bold singing, the edgy arrangements, the precisely phrased lyrics, the unflinching stories that gaze with equal insight upon beleaguered strangers and the people she loves best. These songs feel to me like the work of an artist who sees life whole: tragedy in a phone booth, beauty in the scars”.

Jill also wrote all the music and lyrics on her second album, I Do, which was released in October 2015. I Do is primarily a collection of stories about love, loss and relationships - the beauty and the pain and the sacrifice between any two people At I Do’s heart is the ability to find hope and love despite struggle and loss. Dave Marsh wrote, “On I Do, Jill raised her own standard, and delivered completely on things that were maybe only a promise on the first record. I couldn’t be happier for her… and for me. What a relief to find this gem of an album … Stronger than the first one in a whole bunch of ways, really builds her a fortress to sing from, and the insights in the songs are as deep and beautiful as always. Brava!"

Walter Price from Global Texan Chronicles wrote, “I Do is one of best albums of 2015. The power in this album is the songwriter’s experiences laid out in depths and realism that many artists work full careers or even lifetimes trying to achieve. This album forgoes arrogance deciding instead to focus on not just the stellar construction of the songs and subsequently the full album but to let honesty work its gritty magic. I Do is an important album for humans who feel and are trying to work through what they are living. For a Canadian who resides in NY to capture the atmosphere of steadfast Texas sounds with hints of classic rock and so many of the great timeless singer/songwriters history have given us is more delicious icing on the cake for I DO”.
