Description

Jon cut his teeth in NC with punk and hardcore bands before settling into his solo work. This is his second full length, but his debut on Bitter Melody.

In Jon s words, he has this to say about Junebug:
Junebug was recorded over the expanse of a year (or so) in my friend Cliff B. Worsham’s basement in Candler, NC. Some songs are from the first handful of tunes I ever wrote, some came about the night before a recording session. However, all were written and recorded with the clear purpose of expressing pain, and hopes that whoever receives it may feel less alone in their walking of this world. “Junebug” is a nickname picked up from adolescence, as I was born in June. Over time, it has served as a source of comfort and familiarity, what a gift it is to be called by a name someone gave you out of kinship.
