Few human beings embody the selfless, caring, and giving nature of Ben Jenkins. Born in the summer of '69, a few years later, in a humble farm house in Pleasant Hill, OH. Ben Jenkins, throughout his successes has always remained true to his impoverished origins.

Born the son of Donald and Bonita Jenkins, part time music teachers and struggling sharecroppers, young Benny was milking cows and husking corn before he could stand. With each pig he fed, he dreamed of buying a Fender Telecaster and sharing his love of music with the world. This would be a dream postponed, however, because of a terrible four year fight with dysentary that almost killed the young Jenkins.

At age 12, Ben Jenkins was finally healthy and began what was to become his true passion, drinking water. Practicing daily became a ritual and young Benny became one with his obsession. In difficult mornings-after, Ben took solace in the words of his heroes, Andrew Jackson and W.C. Fields.

In 1995 Ben moved to Nashville, TN, where he not only continued to drink water, but honed his skills as a guitarist and songwriter. Currently, Ben Jenkins resides in Bowling Green, OH, studies Yoga, and in his free time is the Dynamic Guitarist for PAPER PLATE
