Gale Jenkins' Love for Music
Gale Jenkins was born in Decatur Georgia. Gale fell in love with county music that best explained her life. Although Gale loved the genre she also has been influenced by pop and Motown genre. You can hear the soulful sound in Gale's Vocals. Like most up and coming artists, Gale sings around the southeast region paying her dues in nightclubs and festival events.

Critics rave on Gale's powerhouse vocals and say she is a mix of Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker and Lynn Anderson.
