Tim Jenkins loves to sing, and has been singing as long as he can remember. He plays guitar and banjo and sings mostly traditional folk songs, especially ballads, including many cowboy songs. Tim was raised on a small farm in southwest Washington and knows cows (but not horses).

Jim Jones is a native Texan who headed west to live in New Mexico in 1991. He is a two-time finalist in the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk songwriter competition and has produced 15 albums of his own and others’ music as well as the award-winning children’s character education music video, “You’re Always Welcome.” In 2002, he’d finally had enough of the smoky country bar scene and decided to focus on writing, recording and performing his first love, Western Music.
