Celebrating 25 years of songwriting with this new studio version of an old song of my, Selfish. This was the first song I ever wrote, recorded and published. It was on a cassette demo in 1998 with our garage band Dragon Jones (Kirk Jones, Jake Boula), it showed up on on our 2010 CD demo titled 3lb.Chub (Ron Gillette), and was featured on the 2016

It was on a cassette demo in 1998 with our garage band Dragon Jones (Kirk Jones, Jake Boula), it showed up on on our 2010 CD demo titled 3lb.Chub (Ron Gillette), and was featured on the 2016 American Highway Live project. It's a 90s breakup song that never went away and it finally gets a shiny mastered studio edition for all it's adventures.

Somewhere between the dark and the light comes the new album Lantern Shade by Redding, California based singer-songwriter Jonathan Foster. His 5th full-length independent studio effort debuts to the world June 1, 2021, and is packed with musical residuals from the past year of reflective moments during uncertain days. Foster brings this 10-song long player to life with vocal conviction, imaginative lyrics, driven guitars, and rootsy sounds inspired from time in the Cascade Mountains to memories of his hometown Cranberry Lake, New York. The album steers towards the rock side of modern folk music with some big help from Bruce Turgon on bass guitar and Joe Misztal on drums. Lantern Shade comes out of the gate with the catchy single “Stardust Saltwater” and weaves between the heavy “The Beast”, “Into The Black”, “The Ship” and fun “When It Gets Dark”, “Alpine Line”, “Shady Grove”, “Ani Bird” to dedicated celebrations “May Our Paths Cross Again” and “Where We Belong”. Cross paths with Jonathan’s music again or for the first time with some Lantern Shade through your airwaves!

Folk-Americana Songwriter Jonathan Foster’s 4th studio album, the 10-song blissful listen Wildlife. He is joined by stars Scott Joss on fiddle (Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam), Bruce Turgon on Bass (Foreigner, Lou Gramm, Black Sheep), and Morgan Hannaford on pedal steel guitar and dobro (Honeybee, Muletown, Jim Dyar) with special guest Anna Jae on backing vocals. Foster delivers a beautiful album with poetic lyrics, passionate vocals, melodies and a diverse array of sounds and acoustic instrumentation. Highlighted by the first single California Golden, an upbeat cover of Bob Dylan's classic Girl from the North Country, the exquisite Bled The Blood, and the rousing Louise give this long-player an excellent mix of musical moments and emotions from the journeyman songwriter. Self-produced and recorded, mixed, and mastered by Bruce Turgon at After Hours Recorders in Redding, CA from September 2018 - June 2019.
