Acoustic roots duo Jinski is made up of songwriter Stephen Wegrzynski and musician Dave Kennedy, a partnership forged from acoustic roots and the love of a strong melody.

Their music encompasses folk, country, and pop, keeping alive the songwriting tradition while remaining resolutely modern.

Playing ‘live’ with just two voices and two guitars, Jinksi have been touring the UK, honing their craft, chalking up the miles and making new friends wherever they play.

They have built a reputation for delivering music for the head and the heart that is full of passion, meaning and originality.

The pair have recently played The Sage Gateshead, The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, and The Musician in Leicester with festival appearances including Reading, Beverley, Shrewsbury and Broadstairs.

Notable supports have been to Joe Jackson, Eliza Carthy, The Poozies and The Proclaimers. Down Here on Lucky Smile Records/Proper Music Distribution is the duo’s second album and delivers memorable tunes with a cutting lyrical edge, taking the little things that matter and revealing the bigger picture.

Here are songs that capture the moment, ask simple questions and offer some reflection. Jinski tell stories of love, joy, loneliness and longing, capturing the mundane and the magic in everyday life.

Guest artists include English accordion queen Karen Tweed, New Rope String Band’s Pete Challoner (banjo and fiddle), Andy May (pipes and piano) and JINSKI stalwart Neil Harland on double bass.
