What project(s) are you currently working on?

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?  

I am a military brat, around age eight or nine, I took comfort in poetry and music. I remembered my father played Alabama, “Song of the South,” and that song just stuck with me.  I felt the lyrics, the passion and I could visualize what the singer felt. Music became my outlet and therapy.   I liked the way it felt to say what was on my mind and heart.  That’s when I knew, this is my calling to have a career in music.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

If I wasn’t pursuing a career in music, what would I be doing for a living?  Well, I kind of did this question backwards.  I spent the majority of my life working in corporate America and hated every minute because my heart and soul was in music.  Now I am able to dedicate full time to my music career.  There’s nothing else I want to do.  Music is my life!

Artist Name:  Gethen Jenkins

Hometown: I lived in a small Indian village called Galena in Alaska form age 8 to 18

What project(s) are you currently working on?

“Current projects are writing music and getting out on the road spreading our songs to the world and album drop July 26 and getting on a National tour that’s what we’re working on.”

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

I can’t say there was one second in my life that led me to believe that it was time for me to devote 125% of my life to having a music career. I think it’s kind of been a natural development over the years. I remember making a promise (to) my Marine buddy in Iraq that I was going to give it hell. It took me years to get to the point where I started writing music and putting a band together and playing gigs and developing a fan base. I do know that when I got sponsored by 805 Beer, that kind of solidified that my efforts I had been working so hard for the past years… busting our ass, writing songs, playing for no money, traveling, just trying to get the music out there, trying to get some recognition that we’re a band trying to do original music and trying to do it right. 805 Beer saw us and saw what we were doing was something different and they partnered up and that was a big deal for me. That was a good point. And then when I got picked up from my management company and they saw that I had something different that a lot of people don’t have, they saw growth potential and told me that I had something special that they wanted to help cultivate and develop into something worldwide. So those two points in my life were very important. And now, it’s full speed ahead!

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

“If I wasn’t playing music for a livin I’d probably be riding my motorcycle and I’d be a plus-size model for Harley Davidson and I’d be traveling the world.”

What is the last album you listened to?

David Allan Coe – Penitentiary Blues

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

“If I could listen to any album for the rest of my life it would either be Jerry Reed Both Barrels or Merle Haggard Live at Billy Bob’s Texas.”

What is the greatest country song of all time?

 “Greatest country song of all time I have no idea there’s too many good ones. My favorite country song is Lonesome On’ry and Mean Steve Young and Waylon Jennings.

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

“My favorite city or town I’ve ever played at is probably Austin, Texas the Continental Club. Whole bunch of other ones, but that one’s a good one.

Who is your dream duet partner?

As far as duet I would say Emmylou Harris that would be my dream duet.

Who would you like to go on tour with?

Willie Nelson

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

Goals… open for Willy Nelson. Play the 4th of July picnic, play the Ryman Auditorium, mostly just spread our music all over the world. Appreciate y’all keep it in the wind.”
