Music, Food and Brews in Brevard's Backyard
Born and raised in Muhlenberg County, KY (yes, the one from John Prine’s “Paradise”) on a small goat and horse farm in the heart of coal country, Grayson Jenkins is equal parts songwriter, storyteller, traveler and country music artist. At his core, Jenkins is a curious truth-seeker, observing and writing about his own choices and circumstances; along with those of family, friends and strangers. He finds inspiration in his travels, conversations at the grocery store, traumatic events, and really anything that life sheds an interesting light on. Jenkins’ songs have gained the admiration of a loyal following, and fellow songwriters like Pony Bradshaw, Vincent Neil Emerson, and Nicholas Jamerson – all of whom have brought Jenkins on the road with them in the past two years.
After 10+ years spent in Lexington, KY, where he obtained agricultural degrees from and worked for the University of Kentucky, Jenkins now travels extensively across the United States and beyond, staying for short stints in places that inspire him while maintaining a home base in Kentucky. Though he’s not sure where exactly to call “home” at this point in his life, he finds his purpose in the pursuit of songwriting and performing his brand of country music with over one-quarter million miles logged touring across the U.S., UK, and Canada. Like fellow Kentuckians, Sturgill Simpson and Keith Whitley, Grayson Jenkins has carved out his own corner in country music through the release of four independent albums and heavy touring. His releases have garnered the attention of American Songwriter and The Bluegrass Situation, while he has made festival appearances at Railbird Music Festival, Master Musicians Festival, and more.
With a hopeful resignation and canny insight into the ways of the world, Jenkins delivers songs influenced by his own searches for truth, world travels, and turns of phrases found in the rich storytelling communities across Kentucky and beyond. As a listener, you may just find some truth in his songs for yourself.
