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 is sure to run the gamut of human emotions. 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 eight 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. Gethen's latest album WESTERN GOLD, released in 2019, has been a hit with country fans yearning for the days of classic, prime country sounds. His song, "Me, My Bottle and Nothing But Time" was featured in Season 3 of the hit TV show YELLOWSTONE. His six-song debut EP titled WHERE THE HONKY TONK BELONGS was released in July 2017.
