Kentucky native Grayson Jenkins brings a storyteller’s touch to country music, shaped by a childhood on a goat and horse farm in Muhlenberg County, the same place named in John Prine’s Paradise. His songs rise from real conversations, tough seasons, and the small moments many overlook, which has helped him build a devoted following and led to time on the road with Pony Bradshaw, Vincent Neil Emerson, and Nicholas Jamerson. After more than a decade in Lexington, where he studied agriculture and worked at the University of Kentucky, he took his songs far and wide, logging more than a quarter million miles across the U.S., the UK, and Canada while keeping Kentucky as home. In the spirit of fellow Kentuckians Sturgill Simpson and Keith Whitley, he has defined his own space through four independent albums, near constant touring, and festival appearances at Railbird Music Festival and Master Musicians Festival. His work has been highlighted by American Songwriter and The Bluegrass Situation. These songs are steeped in Kentucky tradition, travel, and a search for truth... stories that many listeners recognize as their own.

His connection to music took root in Northern California, where he sifted through stacks of discarded 45s his father, a trash collector, brought home, turning each record into a small discovery. Eager to grow, he set out for Texas with $500 in the bank and two suitcases, diving into Austin’s open mics and songwriter gatherings to refine his craft. Now based in Sonoma County, he tours and writes with his original rock band, The Heartsleeves, offering songs that echo the past while speaking in his own voice.
