Influences"This record is about as original as any grass-roots recording is going to get at this late date" -No Depression, 2005
Sounds LikeI’ve spent several hundred words in the RFT’s music section extolling the virtues of Jon Hardy & the Public, so I won’t take up too much more space other than to say: Goddamn. Even with a new bass player and a fill-in drummer, this group manages to amaze. I asked fellow music writer Roy Kasten to name a better song than Hardy’s “Cassius Clay” to come out of St. Louis since Uncle Tupelo’s “Gun.” He couldn’t. -RFT, Christian Schaefer ..

   About Jon Hardy and The Public

Little Criminals from Jon Hardy & The Public on Vimeo.

Who knows how they all came together. Chalk it up to strange grace or some rarefied stroke of fortune. If you ask them, you're liable to get six different stories. And they'll probably all bear some small resemblance to the real way it all went down, but make no mistake, that tale is long lost.

Sometimes, particularly in the minds of those prone to wander, memories like that, once fluid in their recall, just slowly blend into the deep patchwork of the brain. And to be sure, all of these boys have lived the wandering life.

Press for Working in Love

It’s albums like this that make me wish I could do more for artists. This is a very, very good CD. If you see these guys coming to your town, don’t miss a chance to see them.
-Berkeley Place, Weblog

JH & P's new record, Working in Love, is a great mix of guitar driven pop, insightful lyrics and hooks. The band has the talent to make a nice little name for itself, so why not get on board early?
-Hero Hill Weblog

Cassius Clay is not only the best song on the album, it's one of the better songs of 2007.
-Captian Obvious Weblog

There is never a dull moment to be found on the impressive Working In Love.
Obscure Sound, Weblog

Cruising the backroads at night with this album as your soundtrack is something close to musical bliss. I am starting to think that Jon Hardy and The Public are one of St. Louis’ best kept secrets. I have a feeling that will be changing soon.
-Your Standard Life, Weblog

Jon Hardy and The Public just released an excellent album called Working in Love, and I have been listening to it nonstop for two weeks. The band has been described as alt-country, but their use of horns, xylophones, and shimmering guitars makes them far more than that.
-Dividing by Zero Will Get You Nowhere, Weblog

Jon Hardy and The Public tread in Americana’s dreamier realm, thanks to chiming, echo-laden guitar strokes and big-hearted choruses that threaten to tear songs apart at their seams.
-The Riverfront Times, Weekly

Hi Jon Hardy and The Public
We wanna thank you for your very important support
in those sad days.

This thanx are in our name, in the name of Enrico's wife Paola and in the name of his sons.

Enrico Micheletti's ashes are flyin' throughout the universe
and we hope his soul is finally arrived at a beautiful destination.

What about his music and the music we had recorded toghether?

We finally decide to get it out.
We wanna remeber Enrico in this way.
In the first quarter of 2009 we will publish all our and Enrico Micheletti' s materials on Itunes and many other stores on the web.

We'll send you a message when it's all ready.

God bless you!!!

Marry Christmas and Have a wonderful 2009!!!

KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!



Ciao Jon Hardy and The Public ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.

Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.

Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.

Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?

Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo.
Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano.
Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.

Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.

Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.

Per adesso ti auguriamo Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo.
Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie.
Suonate il blues più che potete!!!!!
