Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to apodcast and Blues. Today we're going to talk about old-time blues in today's blues through the talent of Hubby Jenkins.
Hubby Jenkins is a multi instrumentalist who studies and performs old American music. He is a former member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the Rhiannon Giddens band, and has been nominated for Grammy and Americana awards.
Hubby Jenkins was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. As a young man, he played the saxophone and bass guitar. After discovering the music of Skip James and Bukka White, he began exploring how African Americans influenced American roots music.
