Music: Jenny Don’t and The Spurs

Tickets available from 2nd September

Based in Portland, Oregon in the US Northwest, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have spent over a decade building a reputation as hardworking and musically-driven stalwarts of the Country Western scene. Despite facing challenges – singer Jenny had vocal surgery in 2019 and drummer Sam Henry was lost to cancer in 2022 – they have remained resilient and fully committed to their musical journey. With a fierce DIY ethos, they have independently released the majority of their output (three albums, ten singles) on their own label, cultivating a vast international following via extensive tours across Europe and Australia/New Zealand, as well as performances in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Mexico.

The group most recently attracted attention with their album ‘Fire On The Ridge’, a collaboration with the Fluff and Gravy label that topped the Alt Country charts and earned excellent reviews in the UK, where they toured in 2023. The year also saw them win the coveted ‘Outlaw Group of the Year’ award at Dale Watson’s Ameripolitan Award Ceremony held in Memphis, plus they joined Charley Crockett for multiple dates on his US tour before captivating audiences at the Out On The Weekend Fest in Melbourne, Australia.

Jenny Don’t and the Spurs remain committed to pursuing their passion and have today released a brand new album, ‘Broken Hearted Blue’, while also issuing a video for its title song. The songs ‘Unlucky Love’, ‘Pain In My Heart’ and ‘You’re What I Need’ have all been released as singles prior to album release, as well as a strictly limited edition 7” single coupling album opener ‘Flyin’ High’ with ‘War Cry!’, a non-album instrumental cover version.

The band went down a storm at festivals in Spain (Hurecasa), Holland, Germany (Static Roots) and Belgium (Sjock) in July 2024, and will tour mainland Europe in the autumn. Having toured the UK in 2023, including a set at Ramblin’ Roots Revue, new dates for February 2025 will be announced soon.
