Candi Jenkins at Continental Club

Mar 15, 2025

11:00pm – 11:40pm CT

Continental Club

Katie Toupin's New Alter Ego:
Born and raised in Fayette County, Kentucky, 30-year-old Candi Jenkins channels the essence of the Bluegrass State. Her songwriting reflects unashamed authenticity with titles like "Forever Thirty" and "God Don't Care."

Accompanied by Wayne and Wayne Jenkins (The Jenkins Twins), Candi's music resonates a deep connection to her roots. After an initial pursuit of fame in Hollywood, Candi's return to Kentucky is where she discovered her true voice amid the rolling hills and pastoral landscapes.

Despite not yet releasing any songs in her thirty years, Candi Jenkins is poised for a breakthrough in the country music scene. Her performances have already gathered dozens of followers as she has only been seen performing supporting acts like Sarah Shook and the Disarmers, Steep Canyon Rangers, Dale Hollow, Justin Wells, Wayne Hancock, and Hank IV. Candi showcases a distinctive blend of classic country and modern influences.
