Somewhat reminiscent of Dawes and the Avett Brothers, Brooklyn’s Jones Street Station are about to release a new EP of their gorgeous, heartfelt brand of Americana. Out in January 2012, "The Understanding EP" features the former Deli Artists of the month, doing what they do best: bluegrass-infused pop music that can make your day brighter (seriously, try it). They also realized a video for the first single “The Understanding”, streaming here. After a couple of west coast gigs, the band will be performing at Rockwood Music Hall on January 11th. – Amanda F.
