Joining Cross 4 Crowns in May 2011 is baritone singer, Bob Jenkins. Bob brings that rich, full baritone sound that every quartet must have. Bob is mostly compared to that quartet baritone legend, Mark Trammell, a comparison that he takes with pride, but with great humility. Bob has spent the better part of his musical career leading worship, along with other various music minister duties before taking his gifts and talents "on the road". Bob also brings live musical talent to the group by playing several instruments, including the bass as well as steel guitar. Bob lives in Morristown, TN with his wife, Shirl and their son Josh. They attend First Baptist Church in Morristown, TN
