It's been a minute since we've had anything Great White Jenkins related on AD, so let's remedy that now as these guys just keep getting better. The Virginia based folk-pop group, with readymade bedroom flourishes of blue-eyed soul, toured earlier this summer in support of their new Karl Blau produced 73- Side A: "Look Out [...]

Many moons ago, I pointed you to a wonderful collab between Richmond, VA's The Great White Jenkins and the incomparable Karl Blau , called "Look Out World"- a really great tune, done up in TGWJ's charming, ramshackle style, along with a definite flourish of Blau-itude. Thing is, only way you could hear the song was to stream it on their Myspace . But that is now changed. The band has just released the track as a the A-side to a new 7-inch (with another TGWJ/Blau track, "Tell Me Something Good," on the flip), [...]

"Soul-searching-gospel-country -weirdo-rock." -Sam Farzin (KUCI 88.9FM) I'm in good company with my love for the Virginian band The Great White Jenkins . They haven't been given their fair share of blog love but the love they've gotten is from influential sites like Catbird Seat and Aquarium Drunkard (and to a lesser extent Songs:Illinois here ). The band is about to set out on a mini tour tocelebrate their Karl Blau produced 73 single. The songs stray a little bit from their uptempo marriage [...]
Laura Barrett - Robot Ponies Not to distract from the highly anticipated Old Time Relijun show coming up next week, but here's another exciting announcement from the JustSayin Summer Concert Series . You've never heard the thumb piano played with such zeal, if you've heard it played at all. Laura Barrett uses her thumbs like palms on congos, agressively plucking the kalimba's tacile percussion into graceful melodies. Pitchfork says she your " quirky, crafty, half-hip/half-nerdy friend who [...]
Song:Illinois originally turned us on to this Virginia based post-folk/kitchen sink outfit two years ago. They also just made us aware of the groups new EP, entitled Mussel Souls. Check The Great White Jenkins myspace page for upcoming tour dates. Download: MP3: The Great White Jenkins :: Wind --- Purchase: The Great White Jenkins - Mussel Souls + [...]
The Great White Jenkins are back (wrote about `em here three years ago). I'm sure that's solace to only a few of you out there but I hope with each successive release and tour that these guys will broaden their appeal. Catbird Seat was the first to mention their new EP the other day. "Wind", from the new EP Mussel Souls , starts simply enough with images of geese taking flight, but once the muted horns start to blare and the band revs up it's engine with it's chorus of [...]
