Jeni Hankins & Billy Kemp: Videos

Here's a sweet new video of "Longing for Heaven," based on the traditional Sacred Harp song -- Panting for Heaven #384 -- which Billy arranged for two voices. This is the title track from our upcoming CD!  We made the video on a whim while passing through Atlanta on our way down to South by Southwest.  The wonderful Matt and Erica Hinton, makers of the documentary film Awake My Soul, took us into their home, Matt got out the camera and we started singing.  Seven months later he sent us this video!  What a gift!  You can also hear us sing the Sacred Harp song The Christian's Hope with Jim Lauderdale on Help Me to Sing, a collection of Sacred Harp songs which Matt & Erica produced.  That's their lovely daughter Anna at the end of the video!

Here's a performance of Chicken Ridge recorded at The Rooster's Wife Summer on the Porch Concert Series in Aberdeen, NC.

The second track from Jeni & Billy's CD "Jewell Ridge Coal" with a montage drawn from Mawmaw's photo album. (Jeni's Dad put this one together!)

Here's a performance reel we put together so folks will have a notion of what our live performances are like.
