Jonah Tolchin
Raised in central New Jersey, singer/songwriter Jonah Tolchin was introduced to blues music in his early teens. After a rebellious few years in which he dropped out of high school and ran afoul of the law, he found himself searching for an outlet for all his pent-up energy. His father had spent some time years before living in Mississippi where he ran a record store, so music was always in the Tolchin household, though it wasn't until Jonah was 14 that his father turned him onto the blues. He immediately connected with style and passion and spent the next several years immersing himself first in the blues, then in the many different branches of roots music from bluegrass to old-timey jug band. He and some like-minded friends formed a blues band in high school and shortly after graduating in 2011, Tolchin launched a solo career with the release of his self-recorded debut EP Eldawise. Seeking to open his senses and expand his artistic vocabulary, he spent much of the following year traveling around the U.S., gaining new experience, gigging, and writing the material which would form his 2012 LP, Criminal Man. His rustic Americana and sharp songwriting began to make waves in the folk and indie communities and he was invited to play at the legendary Newport Folk Festival. As his career continued to gather momentum, he toured frequently and eventually landed a deal with Yep Roc Records. Pairing the young artist with producer Marvin Etzioni, a veteran session band was assembled (including members of Los Lobos and Deer Tick) to make his Yep Roc debut, Clover Lane, which appeared in summer 2014. His follow up, Thousand Mile Night, is set to be released in 2016. JONAH WILL PLAY SOLO FOR THIS SHOW. **SPECIAL GUEST OPENER IS HAUNT THE HOUSE**
