JENI HANKINS
"JENI IS A TRUE POET AND BORN STORYTELLER MANY OF HER SONGS CONTAIN WHOLE NOVELS." LEE SMITH, CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF FAIR AND TENDER LADIES AND ON AGATE HILL

Jeni Hankins grew up in the coalfields of Appalachian in Southwest Virginia among a family of miners, moonshiners, and journalists. Her writing pulls the grit, gumption, and keen sense of observation out of that heritage like drawing water from her grandmother's well. A songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and flatfoot dancer, Jeni is best known for the sound of the born-in-the bone twang of her voice and her true tales of mountain life.
In every song, Jeni's true sense of place shines through old as the hills, but brand new at the same time.



There is a photo of Jeni in her great grandparents' log cabin which her Great granddad John Rufus Smith built in the 1880s.
