MIDDLEBURGH — “Joe Jencks sings with a lyric baritone voice that has the edgy richness of a good sea-salt caramel.” A 25+ year veteran of the international Folk circuit, award-winning songwriter and celebrated vocalist based in the Chicago area, Joe delivers engaged musical narratives filled with heart, soul, groove, and grit. Jencks is known for his music of social consciousness and heartfelt human themes, and has penned several #1 Folksongs. Joe is also a dual US-Irish citizen and has served as a Cultural Ambassador with the U.S. State Department. From Carnegie Hall to coffeehouses across North America, Joe has become a fan-favorite.

“The spirit of Folk music is people working together. Joe is a fantastic singer who carries on the traditions.” -Pete Seeger
