A talented singer and multi-instrumentalist, Jenkins revels in sharing his love and knowledge of old-time American music. He has followed the thread of African American history through its traditional music forms and now shares it during dynamic solo performances and engaging workshops.
Whether accompanied by banjo or steel-string guitar, each selection is introduced with narrative that wends its way through country blues, ragtime, Americana and traditional jazz. Jenkins has performed around the world, earning himself both Grammy and Americana award nominations.
Locally sourced food will be available. Musicians Anne Acker and Mike Aucott will open with a folks show at 6 pm. Hubby Jenkins will follow at 7.
