Hubby Jenkins is a talented multi-instrumentalist, who shares his love and knowledge of old-time American music with the world. He has delved deeply into his Southern roots, following the thread of African American history that wove itself through country blues, ragtime, fiddle and banjo, and traditional jazz. Hubby was an integral part of the Grammy award winning Carolina Chocolate Drops from 2010 to 2014. From 2015 to 2018 he was active in touring and recording member in the Rhiannon Giddens Band. Today he focuses on his solo performances, enlightening and entertaining audiences around the world.
Folk Project favorites Dennison & Donahue are the artistic merging of Annie Donahue, an outstanding singer/songwriter with a beautiful voice, and Todd Dennison, an exquisitely tasteful and intelligent guitarist. They combine traditional folk music and gospel with jazz influences to create a unique framework for Annie’s gorgeous melodies and soul-baring lyrics. Their performances touch audiences with introspection, joy, and an almost meditative flight to where meaning, feelings, and sound meet. Annie has a natural gift for conveying complex emotions with her simple, direct-to-the-heart vocal purity. Todd is a sensitive craftsman, whose complex arrangements provide a lush, but simple soundscape for Annie’s voice.
