Nashville Voyager: Life & Work with Evan Jenkins

Today we’d like to introduce you to Evan Jenkins.

Hi Evan, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
I started listening to Ray Charles and the Beatles through my father’s record collection at a young age. I took interest in piano and through my musical grandfather’s push to practice, I learned the blues and pop songs I grew up with. I received further training from advanced choir programs and learned that this was not just a hobby. I truly cared about this more than most things going on in my life (haha).

I honed in my skills and got an incredibly unique experience attending college at the Berklee College of Music. Getting a degree in songwriting and performance, I graduated and moved to Nashville with a project I had put together. After some years of devoting myself to that project, I chose to start working on my own music and get back to my roots, which is always the most undeniable.

Since Covid, I’ve been recording new music on a regular basis, performing at local Nashville venues such as The 5 Spot, Whiskey Jam, the Basement, and most recently had a great show at the historical Exit/In! I currently am rebranding – creating a new logo, website, and new energy surrounding my music! After already releasing a couple of singles this year, I’ll be releasing an EP and setting a tour for the Spring of 2022!
