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 will release a brand new album entitled ‘Broken Hearted Blue’ in mid-June 2024. An initial single from it, ‘Pain In My Heart’, has been released today, a song that Jenny explains “draws from the timeless style of Johnny Paycheck and is my take on classic country storytelling. It's all about that moment of reflection, where you realise you've messed up but still hold out hope for redemption. It's like saying, 'Yeah, I screwed up, but hey, I still love you.' That's the vibe – a mix of regret and optimism, just like those old-school country tunes.”
UK REVIEWS FOR FIRE ON THE RIDGE (2023)
“Jenny Don’t has an absolutely heart-melting, authentic and appealing voice and when you hear her deliver the delicious ‘Be The Only One’, you’ll swoon and no doubt fall in love”
VIVE LE ROCK
“Will no doubt provide a suitable soundtrack to the only worthwhile option as we hurtle headlong towards oblivion: a bottle, a hardwood floor and a willing partner”
RNR
“Draws heavily on influences of 50s and 60s rock ‘n roll and beat and blends them with western influenced swing. It’s an exciting combination and many of the tracks are downright thrilling 4/5”
VINTAGE ROCK
“It’s all toe-tappin’, finger-clickin’ fun, and the band is in the UK in April, so y’all hoedown and see ‘em if you can 4/5”
