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. A single from it entitled ‘You’re What I Need’ has been released today, with Jenny explaining that “it was inspired by wanting to show appreciation for everyone we’ve met on the road and for their continuous support. Touring life is addictive; every night, we meet new friends and reunite with familiar faces from previous shows. Coming from humble beginnings, we never imagined we’d have the chance to travel to most of the places we’ve been. That’s why we’re incredibly grateful for the people who show up and show interest, enabling us to pursue our passion. We take immense pride in never cancelling shows because the fans who come out to see us are worth every ounce of effort. We’ll go to great lengths to make it to a show – crossing scorching deserts, oceans, snowy mountains, and sweltering jungles (literally). We’re trekking around the world because you’re what we need!”
‘You’re What I Need’ is the third single to be issued from the new album, following ‘Pain In My Heart’ and ‘Unlucky Love’ in March and April.
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”
