The band started in 2002 when Bo moved to the Gold Coast from Melbourne. Bo was originaly from Little Rock, Arkansas which directly influences Roadtrains' style in a Southern Rock vein. They play many of the Blues and Country festivals around Australia and gig mainly up and down the east coast in between. People find it hard to pigeon hole the music (judge for yourself) but they just like to kick arse whenever they can.
Revered as an original artist in his own right, releasing three previous albums, Bo has been on stage with some impressive acts in the United States including 'Reba McIntyre', 'BB King', 'Kansas' and 'Albert King' to name a few. His uncanny knack of playing left handed upside down has left many players agast at his dexterity and unique approach. Maton have just endorsed Bo with a range unique guitars suited to his eclectic style...... www.bojenkins

He has a gig as a sound engineer at the Gold Coast Arts Centre and plays in some of the productions as well as operates a recording studio at home.

Roadtrain are connecting to as many people as will listen to their music. They believe they have something original to offer in their advancing years. All the cynicism, road toll, road kill and general mishaps befalling musicians can be felt in the music, so sit back and enjoy.
