The Bones of JR Jones with support form Conchúr White

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.
