Jonathan Wilkins and the poor sons-a-bitches that are too afraid to admit they don't want to play in a band with him.
For the past seven years, Jonathan Wilkins has been playing shows throughout the Midwest and South. The St. Louis native came to Conway, Arkansas, in 2001 to attend Hendrix College. He developed his sound playing in several St. Louis bands, and with his solo act, immediately found his niche among Arkansas musicians like Gut Feeling, the Arkitects, and ex-Auntie M singer/bassist, Mat Mahar. Jonathan has played shows and shared bills with Lucero, Cory Branan, Backyard Tire Fire, Kimya Dawson (of moldy peaches fame), Spookie Daly Pride, Texas natives Graham Wilkinson and Hayes Carll, and Missouri's Madahoochi, Joe Stickley's Blue Print, and Bockman.
The house party taught him how to stand on his own to feet and the dive bar taught him how to love whiskey like an ex-wife. His audience includes, hip-hop heads, punks, rock n rollers, along with fans of roots and folk music. His songs contain strong social commentary and his incredibly personal lyrics are smart, subtle, tactless, and beautiful. At times, his intense percussive-style of guitar playing and his gritty vibrato voice make his songs like "Propulsion," "Cut My Head Off," and "Minority Identity Development" sound at times like political anthems and at others like love-sick howls.
Music Video for "American Man." Filmed, directed and edited by Jack Bishop (Mr. Bear).
