One of the most interesting and original NYC artist playing old timey sounding music, Jonathon Linaberry’s The Bones of J.R. Jones will be celebrating the release of its sophomore full length ‘Spirit’s Furnace’ with a show at the Mercury Lounge tonight April 15th. New single "Hammers and Nails" (streaming) reproduces his signature stomping sound, which originates from the fact that the man is his own band: you can’t play much more than a four on the floor kick, while playing a couple of other instruments and singing. A disciple of 20th Century Folk and Blues artists like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lightnin’ Hopkins, Linaberry blends those influences with his early passion for hardcore punk, delivering an alternative version of roots music that’s dark and edgy enough to feel at home both in a Manhattan bar and in a DIY Brooklyn venue.
