Preview New Single HERE
Nashville, Tennessee – The world will get a good look into the traditional stylings of singer/songwriter Gethen Jenkins, when Billboard.com premieres the lyric video for his “Bottle In My Hand” single today, Friday, August 17 at 10:30 a.m. EDT – the same day the single hits radio and streaming services. The single is one of several songs Jenkins wrote solo, which will be included on an upcoming album released onthe Five Music Company label distributed by Sony/RED MUSIC.
“‘Bottle In My Hand’ is a shuffle about drinking, doing your own thing, not letting anybody slow you down,” said Gethen. “It’s a rowdy drinking song and one of the first shuffles I ever wrote.”
Produced by four-time GRAMMY Award winner Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White, Old 97s and Buddy Guy) and recorded at Nashville’s famed Sputnik Studios, the single is the first release from Jenkins’ debut album that will hit in early 2019. Mike “Cheez” Brown, best known for executive producing and managing Sublime with Rome and Dirty Heads, executive produced the project and also manages Jenkins.
A native of Huntington WV and current resident of Southern California, Jenkins’ influences can be heard throughout the upbeat single. “Bottle In My Hand” is the first glimpse into the soul of the 6’5” mountain of a man whose songs are of considerable depth and meaning, driven by passion, and full of heart and spirit, which are sure to run the gamut of human emotions.
Jenkin’s journey began surrounded by American music, from the purest of Bluegrass to whiskey soaked Honky Tonk. Music took hold at the age of eight, beating on his dad’s Gibson guitar. His teenage years were spent in Galena, a rural village on the Yukon River, deep in the Alaskan tundra. After eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, Gethen landed in Southern California. Returning from Iraq, determined to sing his own song, he found a home in Country Music with his band The Freightshakers (since revamped as Gethen Jenkins). Over the next several years Gethen immersed himself in his music, working hard to create a unique sound keeping true to his roots.
