“This hard-driving, honky-tonk group lead by Gethen Jenkins is a
perfect way to spend any night, wherever it may take you.” – National
Country Review
With his powerful, gut wrenching, baritone sound, Gethen Jenkins is
on a fast train to stardom. Gethen is an award winning singer and
songwriter from Huntington, West Virginia. His songs are of considerable
depth and meaning, driven by passion, and full of heart and spirit
which are sure to run the gamut of human emotions.
“The relationship between the listeners and music is what I feed on” Gethen’s journey began surrounded by American music, from the purest
of Bluegrass to whiskey soaked Honkytonk. Music took hold at the age of
eight, beating on his dad’s Gibson guitar. His teenage years were spent
in Galena, a rural indian village on the Yukon River, deep in the
Alaskan tundra. After 8 years in the U.S. Marines, Gethen landed in
Southern California. Returning from Iraq, determined to sing his own
song, he found a home in Country Music with his five piece band The
Freightshakers (since revamped as Gethen Jenkins). Over the next several
years Gethen immersed himself in his music, working hard to create a
unique sound keeping true to his roots.
