John Jenkins Biography
One of UK’s Best and most original songwriters”
(Maximum Volume Magazine)
Originating from Liverpool, John Jenkins has consistently captivated audiences and critics alike with each new release and performance.
In recent years, he has garnered significant critical acclaim and cultivated a dedicated fan base. Jenkins is a distinguished singer-songwriter within the UK folk, country, and Americana genres.
Renowned for his melodic prowess, subtle lyrics, and skilful chord progressions, his compositions have received accolades in various music circles.
Jenkins has cultivated a committed following and has established himself as a prominent live performer, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with others. He has shared the stage with notable artists such as Chris Difford (Squeeze), Jarrod Dickenson, Robert Vincent (AMAUK Artist of the Year), Dean Owens, and Steve Tilson in recent years.
He performs either solo, with his ensemble ‘John Jenkins and the James Street Band,’ or, as he did during his last two UK tours, alongside Oxford’s ‘Pippa Murdie’ (Storm the Palace).
His most recent work, the 2024 EP ‘Weary,’ released in September 2024, continues to receive widespread critical acclaim, further solidifying his reputation established by his previous albums.

Praise for the “Weary’ EP
Americana UK
“Absolutely breathtaking, and one of the best tracks I've heard all year”
“Collecting these tracks all together on one EP, marks "Weary", out as a must have and comes highly recommended.”
Buzz Slayers
“This is not only a true show of great musicianship but of character and it's something you don't want to miss.
… make you think of artists like Neil Young for example.”
Desperately Lost City
“In the space of one song, I had gone from feeling down and drained to suitably uplifted”
Rocking Magpie
“I’ve paid a lot of money of the years buying albums and singles by household names that don’t even come close to creating raw, honest and deeply personal songs like these six; all of which will squeeze your heartstrings until you can’t take any more … but then press ‘repeat.’”
Spill Magazine Toronto
“Jenkins continues to come up with wonderful songs and has clearly carved out his musical niche. He is a talented artist, and this EP goes a long way in demonstrating his talent”
4 STARS
Louder Than War
“The Weary EP is yet another collection of outstanding songs which adds further to the diversity of John Jenkins impressive songbook”
NM Chester
“It's a stellar addition to his remarkable songbook and a true testament to his exceptional talent as a singer-songwriter”
Praise for the “Tuebrook” Album
Maximum Volume
“This is the work of one of the UK’s best and most original songwriters”.
Americana UK
“This masterful collection highlights why Jenkins is fast becoming one of Liverpool’s most respected singer-songwriters”.
Rocking Magpie
“Nothing could prepare me what was about to unfold …This Album let me speechless”.
Spill Magazine Toronto Canada
“One incredible Album ... Tuebrook stands out in the same way Nebraska stood out for Bruce Springsteen”.
R'N'R Magazine Issue 102 Nov/Dec 2023
“There is a beguiling honesty in the artifice that has gone into constructing the songs. The writing and arrangements variously show a debt to artists as diverse as ‘Simon & Garfunkel’ and ‘Ralph McTell’”.
Liverpool Acoustic
“This is a fantastic album and solidifies Jenkins as a truly formidable songwriting talent”.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
‘Tuebrook” is a piece of art that moves the listener, cajoles it, defends the right of the listener to feel the crush of overwhelming humanity, and then lifts with hope…this is an album for the age, and to hear it is to love it.”
Stereo Stickman 30th June 2023
A uniquely evocative collection of songs. ‘Tuebrook’ makes for a timeless and consistently heartfelt listen, and effectively extends further still the ever-genuine repertoire of John Jenkins.
Fatea Magazine July 2023
“At times warmly nostalgic but without rose-tinted glasses, at others movingly sad, it’s an album for those of a certain age who have come to look back on their own younger days and those with whom they shared them, and as such, it’s a little gem”
At The Barrier Magazine Aug 2023
“Some of the warmest and most intimate, wistful, confessional reveries that you’re likely to hear this side of Christmas”.
Desperately Lost City Aug 2023
“Evocative of Paul Heaton & Jaqui Abbott’s folk pop, but without the heavy production … Add in a wistful voice full of reflection and they become as inviting as those of Suzanne Vega”
Louder Than War Magazine Aug 2023
“Tuebrook is an album which will definitely stand the test of time and may well prove to be a defining moment in the life of John Jenkins as well as his musical career”.
