Gary Jenkins and the "Thundering Hearts" will give you a most delightful and entertaining performance. The band is composed of highly accomplished musicians who provide a wide repertoire of the great songs that you are familiar with. Additionally, Gary is a genius at connecting and interacting with the audience. He is a master at engaging the audience and creating a fun night for attendees. I have used Gary and his band on seven different occasions and he has never let me down. If you give him a try, you will be happy you did.

We used Gary Jenkins as our band for our wedding reception. When we hired Gary we got much more than just an amazing band we also got a great emcee who kept the flow of the reception moving. Gary was very easy to work with, and even brought in specific band members to fit the music we selected. The dance floor was full the entire evening. To this day people talk about two things from our wedding reception, the great food and the amazing band!

Gary made my daughter's 16th birthday party a night to remember! Have recommended him to others who have used him and they all feel the same way! Excellent entertainer, totally professional, easy to work with and accommodated every request made of him.

We have hired Gary Jenkins and Thundering Hearts for our daughter's sweet 16 party and we recommended him to a close family friend for their daughter's wedding. Gary adapted to each situation perfectly and he and the band were outstanding in every way before, during, and after the event. Totally professional. Fun. Great music. Engaging. I own an entertainment venue and we have hired Gary as an emcee for charity fundraisers and twice he has opened as a comedian for TV's Jon Reep. If you can get Gary and or Gary and his band to do your event, you will not be disappointed!

Gary provided the entertainment for a large fundraiser I was involved with at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville. He was extremely professional and responsive throughout the entire process. He is truly an amazing entertainer in all regards and he brings lots of energy and wit. The attendees loved him and his band and people stayed to dance until the event ended. He made the event so much better than it would have been otherwise.

I highly recommend Gary - you will not be disappointed!

He performed specialty songs and acts that were so entertaining that bring back memories to this day. My current and past positions are VP Marketing Hollywood Casino Tunica and VP Casino Marketing Golden Nugget Lake Charles

I have used Gary Jenkins and Thundering Hearts Band for many high profile corporate events, holiday parties, and specialty shows throughout the United States. I also used them for my wedding. They are an outstanding band comprised of professional musicians and singers that are the absolute best in their field. The band is led by Gary Jenkins who is not only a great singer/musician but also a brilliant MC who adds comedy and connection to your entire event. You will be thrilled with this band!

Gary emceed our largest annual community fundraising event and did a wonderful job from start to finish. He was so well prepared and coordinated everything from the set up for all of the sound and lighting for several musicians to the introduction of speakers, and then made sure everything went off without a hitch throughout the evening. He kept the night moving along perfectly with a combination of humor for the crowd and sincerity about the needs of our organization. We couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks Gary!

Gary Jenkins and his band performed for my husband’s 40th birthday party. He made it such a memorable and special night for us. He mixed humor with songs and even had the audience participating with him much of the night. People I never thought would feel comfortable enough to be put in the spotlight, he had them singing a song with him or answering questions. Amazing! Another thing we really enjoyed about Gary is that he is so versatile. He could sing any song we threw at him- country, pop, rock-n-roll and even gospel. And he could make virtually any subject funny and keep it clean. It was so great to see him connect with everyone, from the kids to our elderly relatives and everyone in between. He has a magical quality that makes you instantly like him, be at ease and want to have fun. Everyone left feeling like this was THE BEST party ever and still talks about it. I’d definitely hire him again!

Gary made my son's wedding go off without a hitch! He took time to get to know the bride and groom, kept the crowd engaged and knew exactly what to play. Everyone still talks about it a year later. Best choice ever!

Gary Jenkins is and always has been my first choice for any type of entertainment. Solo performance or band, he brings to the stage as well as back stage a professionalism that will exceed your clients wishes. He is the best of the best and thinks on his feet faster than anyone I know. I will always hire him and even ask him for recommendations when and if he is not available. Book Gary now if you want the best performance and a performance you can be proud to show anyone.

Gary Jenkins is a terrific entertainer and his band is chock-full of talent! He was delightful to work with and met every request we made of him. He went out of his way to personalize our event, making sure to okay requested songs and to accommodate our bridal party dance number. He is a great stand up comedian and kept the party going from beginning to end. I would use Gary Jenkins and the Thindering Hearts for future events and will recommend him to all of my friends! He made our wedding the special party and celebration I always dreamed of!

Gary performed for our corporate Christmas party. In fact, our employees are still talking about his incredible performance 2 years later! Gary arrived early and was such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. He is a wonderful entertainer/musician/comedian and has a unique ability to appeal to all ages - young and old alike. He is a top notch professional and we would recommend him 100% for any type of event - corporate or private.

Gary Jenkins and the Thundering Hearts were the perfect band for our wedding reception. Very reliable and easy to work with. They learned our first dance song and performed it beautifully. Gary is a crowd pleaser and kept the guests entertained all evening! I worked corporate events at the time and wouldn't have chosen a different band to play my wedding! They're great!

Gary Jenkins and the Thundering Hearts are the friendliest and easiest band to work with I have ever used. Their versatility was unbelievable with songs from the 50's to newest hits. We used them for a 4th of July celebration for the City of Lexington, TN with fireworks closing the show. The audience was varied in age from babies to grandparents and he played what worked for everyone. Happiest crowd and staff we have ever had.

After seeing Gary perform at a larger event I contacted him regarding a small birthday party for a group of tween girls (a tough group). Gary asked appropriate questions. Regarding the group's interests and provided a wonderful mix of music and comedy that had the girls wildly entertained and talking about it for weeks. I cannot recommend Gary enough for any size or type of event.

I have worked with Gary Jenkins on and off since he first became a professional entertainer in his late teens. Gary is sincere, dependable, punctual, personable, talented, a good businessman, a great musician, singer and entertainer. The players he works with are some of the best available, all Nashville Pros. They are all great people, fun to be around, positive and upbeat. Gary and the band are highly versatile musically and their strong suit is interacting with the audience. They always deliver. I've hired Gary as an emcee, comedian, actor, and with his band. I've used him for every type of event imaginable from small parties, casinos, and weddings to major corporate events overseas and he has always done a great job. Gary ends up becoming friends with most of his clients and we have been colleagues as well as friends for many years. I highly recommend Gary Jenkins as an emcee, comedian, and as the leader of his great band Thundering Hearts.

Thanks!

Gary Jenkins and Thundering Hearts are true pros! Gary and his players are top quality musicians who can customize the experience based on the needs of the event. Gary himself is a very engaging front man with a quick wit, a reliable sense of humor and a dynamic presence. He is also a clean, professional comedian who can carry a program all by himself. Rock and Roll, Country or comedy...Gary Jenkins and Thundering Hearts never disappoint. I highly recommend!
