A talented multi-instrumentalist, Hubby Jenkins endeavors to share his love and knowledge of old-time American music. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, he delves into his Southern roots, following the thread of African American history that wove itself through country, blues, ragtime, fiddle, and traditional jazz.
As an integral member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and later the Rhiannon Giddens band, Hubby performed around the world, earning himself both Grammy and Americana award nominations.
“He plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, claps the bones, and sings in a rich tenor…. Hearing this young guy perform Blind Willie Johnson or Fred McDowell will astonish even the most seasoned blues aficionado, impressing that this fierce slide guitarist and fingerpicker, and a superb singer, is the joyous embodiment of the future of acoustic blues.” –Living Blues Magazine
