Unfortunately, Grayson has had to cancel. We hope to reschedule when he is back in our area.Born and raised in Muhlenberg County, KY (yes, the one from John Prine’s “Paradise”) on a small goat and horse farm in the heart of coal country, Grayson Jenkins is equal parts songwriter, storyteller, traveler, and country music artist. His songs have gained the admiration of a loyal following, and fellow songwriters like Pony Bradshaw, Vincent Neil Emerson, and Nicholas Jamerson - all of whom have brought Jenkins on the road with them in the past two years. After 10+ years spent in Lexington, KY, where he obtained agricultural degrees from and worked for the University of Kentucky, Jenkins now spends most of his time traveling from gig to gig; he’s not quite sure where he calls home. Grayson plays the Evening Muse in Charlotte on Wednesday evening, following our live session.

If you’re looking for contemporary artists breathing new life into those classic country and western swing sounds that we love playing here at ‘NCW, look no further than the great Brennen Leigh. She’s been one of the go-to voices the past few years for countless acts (including Asleep at the Wheel, whose new album is our Peak of the Week on Thursday), and she’s been busy with her own albums, both solo and as part of the Wonder Women of Country with Kelly Willis and Melissa Carper. Enter her latest release, Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love, released just this month.
