About The Bones of J.R. Jones:
Jonathon Linaberry looks back on Radio Waves, his sixth album as The Bones Of J.R. Jones, but there’s more than just nostalgia at play. Recorded with producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Bahamas), the collection is moody and hypnotic, drawing on the sonic landscape of Linaberry’s youth as it reckons with the doubt and uncertainty of adulthood. The arrangements are entrancing, built on the tension between acoustic instruments and retro synthesizers, and Linaberry’s performances are raw and visceral, at times aching in their vulnerability. Put it all together and you’ve got a poignant exploration of memory and longing delivered by a relentless searcher, a revelatory work of personal reflection rooted in the endless beauty, pain, and chaos of growing up.
Born in central New York, Linaberry got his start playing in punk bands before becoming enamored with the field recordings of Alan Lomax. He launched The Bones of J.R. Jones in 2012 and began releasing a series of albums and EPs that would land his songs in films and TV shows like True Detective, Suits, and Daredevil, and lead to countless tours across the US and Europe, including stops everywhere from Telluride Blues to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Along the way, Linaberry would also share bills with the likes of The Wallflowers, G. Love, and The Devil Makes Three, soundtrack an Amazon commercial helmed by Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi, and earn praise from Billboard, American Songwriter, Under the Radar, and more.
More about FALLS:
FROM THE HOLLYWOOD HOTEL IN SYDNEY,
TO HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA.
Every Wednesday night, for almost two years, Australian singer songwriter Falls (Melinda Kirwin) played at a little hotel in Sydney called The Hollywood. It’s where she cut her teeth, found her sound and wrote the songs that would become her debut EP. Fast forward to 2025 where she found herself in Hollywood California, recording songs for her sophomore album “Bodega Rose” (due out in 2026) with grammy winning producer Joe Chiccarelli at the iconic Sunset Sound Recording Studio. Largely shaped by her love of Americana Music, these new songs elegantly capture the thrill and the fallout of following through on a dream. Illustrating life on the road and the feeling one gets when you don’t know where home is anymore.
Onstage, it’s clear Falls wears her heart on her sleeve, with her intimate yet catchy Indie Folk/Americana melodies, sweet vocal harmonies, and emotionally fueled performances drawing rave reviews. Having toured with The Lumineers, Passenger, Iron & Wine and Ron Sexsmith amongst others, Falls is fast developing an impressive live resume which includes performances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits and AmericanaFest. Featured in Billboard Magazine’s “Tomorrow’s Hits”, Falls is quietly making a name for herself in 2026. “With her sweet harmonies and hooky choruses, falls is already drawing airplay at adult alternative radio” - Gary Trust (Billboard)
