   About Useful Jenkins

Useful Jenkins is a spirited young group that mixes campfire mystique along with a driven acoustic rock show. Their music takes you back to the front porch with a jug of ‘shine and a foot stompin’ good time. The bands’ original songs are well crafted and will stick in your head long after the show. Their nicely placed cover tunes span their influences which include Wookiefoot, Michael Franti and The Grateful Dead. The show has a great festival feel and the UJ family is always growing, so you are sure to run into people you have met before. Guaranteed to put a dip in your hip and leave you smiling!

Dudes! I couldn't think of a better way to spend a weekend than rippin it up with Useful Jenkins. It was truly the best way to close down a 6 week run. I felt right back at home again.

Lets do it again soon!

So, I'm thinking about my birthday already and wondering if we can do a party at the L Cove again... It's not till Jan 12th but thought I'd better ask now if you'd be available- any weekend around then should work. Let me know what you think, please.
