The Carrot Song comes back

Hello Beautiful People,

Since releasing the EP, it's been busy around here at Jonah HQ. Annie and I have been playing a lot of duo shows, and we've been traveling during the summer: Chicago (my hometown), the Oregon Coast, Seattle, etc. We recently played up at the Green Frog in Bellingham, WA and had a blast.

At some of our duo shows, I've been pulling out a song to play that I haven't played in years: The Carrot Song. It's a song that I wrote in college when I was in love with Annie and she didn't know it yet.

I wrote the song by looking up the Wikipedia article for Carrot and distilling what I had learned. It's a very silly and playful song, and I think I didn't play it for a long time because I was embarrassed about it.

I realized the other week that apart from some kind fan going by "qwertyqazz3601" on YouTube who uploaded a video of the song back in 2010, there was no way for people to get the original recording I did of the Carrot Song.

I decided to fix that. Now, you can own The Carrot Song for yourself! Check it out below:

Hope you like it!

Love,
Jonah

New Video! + I'm starting a podcast!

Happy April and Happy Spring!

Annie and I recently recorded this video of us covering Lyle Lovett's If I Had a Boat. We thought you might enjoy it. We are planning on doing more YouTube covers, so comment below and let me know what other songs you want us to do!

New Podcast

I'm excited to announce that I will be starting a new podcast, called The Myth of Fingerprints. I'll interview musicians and artists from around the world (via Skype) about their stories, and play some of their music. 

I'll be launching the podcast in May, so if you know anyone who you'd think would make a great guest, please email me or comment below with suggestions!

That's all for now. 

Love,
Jonah

Happy Holidays

Its been a while since I've posted. Mostly wanted to say Happy Holidays!

Annie and I had a wonderful trip out to New York in Oct to open for Lucy Kaplansky. She was awesome, and so was NYC as it was my first time there IN MY LIFE.

I'm still working on getting out the remaining posters and books to Kickstarter backers, as well as other prizes.

We're putting together a band and will be starting off 2014 with a few shows!

Love,
Jonah

We are sending CDs to you!

CDs are going out this week to about a dozen states in the US and 4 different countries! If you were a Kickstarter backer with a CD reward, expect yours in the mail soon. If you weren't, CDs will go on sale on this website within a few weeks!

CDs have arrived!

There is nothing like seeing your CD for the first time when it comes in the mail. I've been jumping around the house and yelling all afternoon!

Things are coming in the mail!!

The posters arrived in the mail yesterday, and the CDs will show up any day now! Then we will send them off to cd baby and Kickstarter backers, and soon anyone will be able to buy the album!

Recording sessions

It had been a wild and wonderful few months at Yellow Room Recording with producer (and now good friend) Peter Rodocker. I have so much gratitude for the musicians who made some awesome music for the album!

Photo Shoot

A while ago, we went out on the town with Mac, art director and the designer of the CD art and book, and Dylan Wilbur, photographer. We went to 10 different locations to take photos for the album art and book that will accompany the album.
