At the end of 2019, Tom Jenkins self-released his debut album Misery In Comfort, a collection of songs written in the solitude of the New Zealand outback as he cut a living as a traveling shepherd, rancher and sheep shearer, running the backcountry in Māori shearing gangs.
Eventually, Jenkins and his songs would end up in Fort Worth, Texas, where he tracked his debut, instantly gaining recognition from Grammy And Oscar winning singer songwriter, Ryan Bingham who invited Jenkins out on his first solo tour across Ireland. This would be immediately followed up by the release of 'When The Coal Dust Settled' a collection of folk songs dedicated to the heritage and history of the South Wales Valleys and his family of Coal Miners and Hill farmers, with all proceeds donated to the Valleys flood aid.
As lock down set in, Jenkins began working on his second album 'It Comes In The Morning, It Hangs In The Evening Sky' collaborating with the likes of Marc Ford of The Black Crowes and Phil Campbell of Motorhead, and Paul Mullen to deliver an expansive modern, indie, alternative-folk album, that would lead him to signing with Xtra Mile Recordings and leading to tour supports with label mate Frank Turner, Soul and Blues rockers, Cardinal Black, folk punks ,Skinny Lister, British chart toppers Bastille and recently touring with American Country star Megan Moroney, showcasing the depth in his sound.
