Search - Jonathan Byrd :: This Is The New That

Chapel Hill, North Carolina singer-songwriter Jonathan Byrd throws down a hard-ass, righteous and irreverent Rock and Roll recording, full of ace songwriting and musicianship. "This is the New That" is distinctly Southern in feeling, full of character and characters crossing paths and swords in a world pierced through with incomprehensible forces. After 3 folk CDs, Byrd says, "Everything I do is a departure from what I've done." A native of Chapel Hill, Byrd grew up singing in the Southern Baptist church, where his father preached and his mother played piano.
