Happy Holidays  Three Months in the Top Ten amp nbspCD Release CONCERT

Joe Jencks at a really cool old stone church in western Ireland (October 2007)

Dear Friends…

NEWS…

What an amazing fall it has been! From Galway, Ireland, to Ontario, Canada, and back to the US, the music has been flowing and the travels have been good!

The new CD, The Candle & The Flame, has been in the TOP TEN on the American Folk Charts for 3 months consecutive now! With several songs ranking on the charts, and every single song on the disc receiving airplay! We are even getting airtime in Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel! Joe Jencks is going global!

This would not be possible with out the help of a good many people.  Not the least of which is Jen Cass Jen Cass.com who has been taking on Radio Promotion for me. She has done a great job, and is deserving of much gratitude. The amazing musicians that helped make this record possible are also to be thanked with all certainty! Jon Carroll, Pat Wictor, Jim Robeson, Siobhan Quinn, Charlie Pilzer, Charlie Bernhardt, Bob Beach, and the Jencks Family.

Gratitude also goes to my new trio partners… Helena Nash and Karen Michelle "Pinkie" Bergmann, for their diligent work helping me get this music out into the world!  Helena has been traveling with me for several months now and it is a genuine joy. Pinkie has performed a few times with me and will be a more active part of the ensemble in the coming year. Our first big tour will be three weeks in Ontario in February!
