ABOUT CANDI JENKINS

Candi Jenkins, a singer-songwriter from Fayette County, Kentucky, is making her mark in the country music scene. Kin to Conway Twitty, her music emanates an authenticity that reflects the heart of the Bluegrass State. After a successful 2025 SXSW, she has opened this fall for Clay Street Unit, Son Little and Andy Frasco.

Candi's music, which blends classic country with fresh modern influences, speaks of her connection to her Kentucky roots. Songs like “Wild Blue” and “God Don’t Care” showcase her raw, genuine approach to songwriting, and her live performances have already earned her a growing following. Most recently, she dropped a striking music video for her song "Cowboys For Fools", directed by Buddy Quaid. 

Though her music journey is new, Candi's return to Kentucky has allowed her to discover her true voice, drawing inspiration from the state's rolling hills and pastoral landscapes. Since the conception of her musical project in the summer of 2024, she has opened for acts like Jason Boland & The Stragglers, John R. Miller, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers, Justin Wells, and Steep Canyon Rangers. Candi is already gaining recognition as a standout performer in her sudden emergence.

Her songs are undeniable—heartfelt and relatable, with lyrics that make you laugh, cry, and sing along. With her Kentucky heritage now at the forefront of her music, Candi Jenkins is ready to make a lasting impression on the country and Americana scene.
