Jeni and Billy have such a great handle on that old style of stuff...it's incredible. They’re the real deal.

IF YOU LIKED THE MOVIE "WALK THE LINE"...you'll love the music of Jeni Hankins and Billy Kemp. Our own Johnny and June, or maybe Porter and Dolly.

Steve Key, Songwriter and Promoter

. . . sweet, tragic, and sweetly sung.

Eric Rose, Baltimore Roots Musician

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute Jeni and Billy were onstage.

Ron Goad, Songwriters Association of Washington, Showcase Promoter

We got this letter from a fan back in Jeni's hometown of Richlands, VA, and were really glad to have made his day, so we thought we'd share his letter with you. Thanks Gary!

Hi Jeni and Billy,

I am writing from Richlands, Virginia. I left the area back in 1975, lived in a number of states, and only recently returned.

All of your songs are great! I especially liked "Back Then" and "I'm Not Your Girl." Then, second most I liked "Hard-Bitten" and "Sweet & Toxic." Jeni, your voice has the melody of an angel and the power of a locomotive! Billy, your acoustics are some of the finest I have ever heard!

Jeni, the powerful emotion in your voice is soul stirring. Your voice is reminiscent of Maria McKee and Janis Joplin.

Your Friend,

Gary

Gary Pelton - Fan Letter (Jul 10, 2006)

Jeni and Billy are found people.
