Luck Reunion artist. According to this article:
Inevitably music will be inspired by personal experiences and Tom Jenkins has a fascinating dual work situation. On the one hand he’s a sheep farmer in South Wales and he revels in his family history of running a farm in rural Wales. But he’s also a wonderful singer-songwriter and to date he’s released two highly praised albums and a range of shorter EP-length recordings still pitched as albums.
He has been in other bands and toured but soured on the scene. Per this article:
After a few years on the road and feeling uninspired by his own music, Jenkins would eventually end up in the outback of New Zealand, to pursue his passion of sheep shearing, Shepherding and ranching. Cut off from the world, sometimes weeks at a time with only a landline that would receive calls, the isolation and beautiful landscape that surrounded Jenkins would provide the right time and place to write his debut solo album.
He returned to Wales and connected with producer (and Austin-based) Elijah Ford (Gary Clark, Jr. bandmate) to make new music. He now has a new album out. He opened for Ryan Bingham on his tour of Ireland.
'It Comes In The Morning, It Hangs In The Evening Sky' is an older song. It's more rocking than his newer stuff. Reminds me a little of Jeff Buckley.
"Stay and Work the Land" is about his life farming. It's a good song and video.
This is his most streamed song.
