“Everything about this music is timeless — Jonny Meyers’s smoke-and-whiskey voice, the singalong harmonies and horn parts, and the bittersweet, ever-hopeful songs that reach out and grab you like an old friend found at the end of a long journey.” - David French, author of the biography Heart Full of Soul - Keith Relf of the Yardbirds
The Moment You Arrive (2021) jumps off as a culmination of the genres that have always informed Jonny's songwriting; blues, soul, rock, country, and Jamaican ska and reggae. With this record, Jonny brought in Michael TA Thompson to produce, pulling the songwriting and organic feel of The JMQ, his long standing band, to the forefront. The lyrical content explores a running theme of how music and life inform each other. For example, the album’s single, “Jubal,” celebrates the life of a friend, music maker and forever source of joy, while songs like “Inspiration” discuss the unpredictable coming of the muse. Other times, the groove takes center stage, especially in uplifting, horn driven songs like “Pretty Green Lights.” Moment is a carefully curated small menu; no guest musicians, just a true sense of gratitude from a band that loves playing together, especially following an unprecedented time apart due to COVID-19.
“On The Moment You Arrive Jonny Meyers pulls from soul, R&B, rock, reggae and even folk to create a record that sounds like what a young Elvis Costello may have made today - Elizabeth McQueen, Producer/Host, KUTX Austin
