"Hollywood" Jenkins has been well known as a prolific San Francisco Bay area Guitarist, Vocalist and band leader for several years.

Hollywood first became interested in music when he was sixteen years old, growing up in Bartlesville, Ok. He would sneak into the local Twenty Gents night club and watch a band called Ronnie and the Miracles play blues. At that time, as he watched the band's performance, Hollywood thought that playing in a band was the coolest thing that you could ever do.

He received even more inspiration to be a musician when he met James Browns guitar player (Jimmy Noland) at a Tulsa, OK concert and later, Bobby Blue Bland at the Oil Capital showroom. His first electric guitar was bought on credit at a local music store with money that he earned doing odd jobs around the brick yard part of town.

Hollywood moved to Tulsa and played guitar for a while in the pep band at Booker T. Washington High School until his destiny stirred him to move to San Diego, Ca.

In San Diego, Hollywood's band opened for the legendary James Brown at the Convention Center. As a small footnote, famed bassist Nathan East of the group Fourplay and Eric Clapton fame was one of the bassist in Hollywood's San Diego, CA Band (Soul Unlimited).

Hollywood moved to Oakland, California, in 1977, where he met and was encouraged by guitarist Marvin Holmes and he landed his first local gig with The Brummels Band.

A Credit Card fee is added per ticket
