Jonivan Jones
Arkansas songwriter, Jonivan Jones, began making music in 1994, crafting and recording melodies on an old 4 track tape recorder. He began writing songs and learning traditional style folk music at gatherings in the Ozarks.
Live performances are a stirred-up framework of genres, characterized by its ragged lilts and reverence to Delta & Folk Blues, creating a unique but familiar sound. Years of songwriting and random live shows amassed a catalog of unique music that is often a nod to life’s pact with the wild. https://youtu.be/c5Z2a83Iy2U?si=e4qz0l6mMvgiEC63
Chris Combs
Even from childhood, picking up his first guitar meant also composing original music, an inextricable partnership that has shaped his lifelong love of the medium and, ultimately, his career as a working musician, now moving into its third decade. A native Tulsan, Combs’ musicality took equal inspiration from a handful of guitar teachers, choral directors in church choirs, and early childhood trips to visit family in New Orleans. Shortly after joining renowned band Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey in 2007 on lap steel, he became the group’s primary composer, touring jazz festivals globally with the band. As the band’s lead composer, he wrote several new JFJO works, many of which netted glowing press in the U.S. and abroad and topped best-of lists. These include 2011’s “Race Riot Suite, ” a conceptual instrumental record depicting the then-largely unknown Tulsa Race Massacre, a devastating hometown theme he revisits even today as a live guitarist with many of the artists in the city’s Fire in Little Africa hip-hop collective. His current roster of projects includes Combsy, Lil’ Big Band, Gogo Plumbay, Mike Dee & Stone Trio, Booomclap, and of course Chris Combs—Trio, Quartet, Sextet, and so on. Storied Chicago-based jazz and blues magazine DownBeat named him a Rising Star instrumentalist in its Critics’ Poll in both 2022 and 2023, and he capped last year with two new records: Neon Eyes, with his experimental indie project Combsy, and Run Down the Ghost as Chris Combs proper, recorded with Aaron Boehler on bass (Wilderado) and Josh Raymer (JFJO) on drums.
