Hubby Jenkins is a talented multi-instrumentalist who will share his love and knowledge of old-time American music with us on Sunday afternoon, April 6, 2025 at 2 PM. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he delved into his Southern roots, following the thread of African American history that wove itself through country blues, ragtime, fiddle and banjo, and traditional jazz. After years of busking and performing at many venues around NYC, Hubby began touring with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. As an integral part of the band he has been nominated for both a Grammy and Americana award, performed on both The Letterman and Jools Holland Shows, as well as toured around the US and Europe. He still plays with Rhiannan Giddons on occasion. In June 2024 he appeared at the Country Music Hall of Fame to celebrate their CD album release that documents the history of African-Americans in Country Music. This was followed by an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. Hubby Jenkins knows a great deal about the history of the banjo, an instrument that was created by slaves in Caribbean and later in America and later popularized by Caucasian musicians used in other styles of music. Genres of music you will hear at this concert include Acoustic, Blues, Old-timey, Americana, Acoustic Blues, Blues Gospel and of course Folk.
