Sights and sounds of West TX and New Mexico (and some Dallas too) - including a giant mining truck which is a sight and sound off my bucket list. First time spending the night in El Paso, and it was lovely. Thanks again to @thebonesofjrjones for having me out - I wanted to add his song “Stay Wild” to this post but I also want y’all to hear the big truck on slide 10 lol so instead y’all go listen to that after! Now to finish my record(s) and get out again soon

6 days on the road with @thebonesofjrjones and I’m very thankful for the opportunity and experiences! Wonderful crowds, wonderful venues, wondeful food, a wonderful workplace that is cool with me up and running for a bit, less wonderful back and forths across the state at like 3 AM. The weather is turning and everything is green and growing (including my beloved prickly pear I thought was done for after the snow in January). Continues tonight in New Mexico for a couple more dates! If you ever have the occasion to, check out the Bones live, it’s an excellent show put on by some very fine people.

Catch our Nathan @mongolwells opening for @thebonesofjrjones at legendary @clubdadadfw in @deepellum tonight! 🎶🤠 Several shows in Texas and New Mexico follow: 🎸 April 9: @04center in Austin, TX 🎸 April 10: @hobhouston in Houston, TX 🎸 April 14: @tumblerootsf in Santa Fe, NM 🎸 April 15: @whiskeycreekzocalo in Arenas Valley, NM “Jonathon Linaberry looks back on Radio Waves, his sixth album as The Bones Of J.R. Jones, but there’s more than just nostalgia at play. Recorded with producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Bahamas), the collection is moody and hypnotic, drawing on the sonic landscape of Linaberry’s youth as it reckons with the doubt and uncertainty of adulthood. The arrangements are entrancing, built on the tension between acoustic instruments and retro synthesizers, and Linaberry’s performances are raw and visceral, at times aching in their vulnerability. Put it all together and you’ve got a poignant exploration of memory and longing delivered by a relentless searcher, a revelatory work of personal reflection rooted in the endless beauty, pain, and chaos of growing up. Born in central New York, Linaberry got his start playing in punk bands before becoming enamored with the field recordings of Alan Lomax. He launched The Bones of J.R. Jones in 2012 and began releasing a series of albums and EPs that would land his songs in films and TV shows like True Detective, Suits, and Daredevil, and lead to countless tours across the US and Europe, including stops everywhere from Telluride Blues to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Along the way, Linaberry would also share bills with the likes of The Wallflowers, G. Love, and The Devil Makes Three, soundtrack an Amazon commercial helmed by Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi, and earn praise from Billboard, American Songwriter, Under the Radar, and more.”

January 2026 has been all highs and lows and a lot of extreme weather. But here we are and I have a solo show Thursday at the @allgood_cafe 7 - 9 so I guess it’s all good at the end of the day right? Y’all come out!

A year in review. Select photos from January to December. The world indeed keeps turning and every revolution feels crazier than the last, but in 2026 I’m resolving to fight harder for what I love, who I love, and for a world that reflects that love instead of evil, exclusion, and hatred.

Can one of yall let me know what happened to the year? I swear it was just like June The Fair is over, on to the next. Swipe for, among other things, several trash cans and a Joker car

The 2025 @statefairoftx has drawn to a close, and that means my time on the @levis Denim Club stage is over. Here’s a nostalgic look back at all the fit checks we shared 💛 Thanks to Levi’s for the fits, the Fair and @state_fair_records for having me, all the folks who came out over the last three weeks, and my fellow musicians for sharing the stage. It was an honor!

Only two dates left at @levis Denim Club and it’s been a blast! Love seein all the different folks come out each time, even the two security personnel that I was worried were gonna escort me out last night (which was responsible for the look of concern I’m wearing in this video). The @statefairoftx is winding to a close this weekend and I’m bookending it - come see me Friday and Sunday night at 8! I need new songs to play so please suggest some 🎥: @gabbyandscout

As we move into Fall and the Fair season begins, this is a document of what I’ve seen and done over the past couple months. A trip to Colorado, Mineral Wells, and Chuck E Cheese, work & work events, dogs and friends, a couple calls to AAA, and edges and corners of this and that.
