Jenny Don't and the Spurs

Described by Kelly as a “kitchen table project”,[4] the band initially focused on covering classic country artists such as Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr, Ernest Tubb, and Loretta Lynn.

[5] Soon after the band's formation, Sam Henry (Wipers, Napalm Beach), who was the drummer in Don't, was invited to join the duo.

[6] The band made their debut performance at Portland's Ash Street Saloon on March 15, 2012, supporting Fred and Toody Cole's (Dead Moon, Pierced Arrows) acoustic duo project.

In spring 2017, the band released their secondalbum, Call of the Road, a collaboration with Doomtown Sounds and Portland-based label Mississippi Records.

[9] After the release of Call of the Road, Halmfilst departed from the band, and Christopher March joined as a full-time guitarist.

[11] Recording for Fire on the Ridge faced delays[12] due to Jenny undergoing surgery to remove vocal cord polyps.

[20][21][22] The band's fourth album, Broken Hearted Blue, was released on June 14th, accompanied by a multiple tours spanning Europe, Mexico, and the US.

[23] The album was recorded with Collin Hegna from Federale and Brian Jonestown Massacre at Revolver Studios in Portland, Oregon.
