    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.

    From 2010 to 2016, Jenkins was a member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, playing instruments including guitar, banjo, and bones. Their album Leaving Eden was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Folk Album in 2012. Along with other members, he was later part of the Rhiannon Giddens band. The two groups played a major role in the revival of Black string band tradition.

    Jenkins was nominated for Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2015 Americana Awards.
