Press

“Useful Jenkins is a jam band with come rockin' folky-bluegrass color from Mancato, Minnesota. They came to Ames and played at DG's Taphouse downtown. The show didn't start until 10:00 and the weather outside was frightful, but as soon as we entered the venue the music warmed us up and was oh-so-delightful! There were hippies with tails hanging from their pants dancing all around the bar and foot-stomping, hooting and hollering fans filling the floor. The band filled DG's with some toasty, warm good energy for the bitter, cold winter night in Ames, Iowa. After the show I asked the band back to my apartment to record a session and they agreed! In between the tiny, but cozy, walls of my new efficiency apartment in downtown Ames, Useful Jenkins jammed out at 2:30 in the morning setting my apartment, and the winter, off to beautiful start!”
