JONAH KAGEN
SONGWRITER / INDIE FOLK / AMERICANA
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
what more can we say about the talent of georgia-born-turned-nashvillian jonah kagen that his music hasn’t already spoken for him on his behalf? with the influx of love coming back to the songwriter in large part thanks to noah kahan AND ZACH BRYAN, JONAH IS A PERFECT DEFINITION OF “BLEND” BETWEEN THOSE TWO. FALLING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE ALT-COUNTRY AND AMERICANA SOUND OF ZACH AND THE WOODSY, FOLKSY SOUND OF NOAH, JONAH HAS BEEN A MAN ON A MISSION SINCE 2021 WHEN HE RELEASED “BROKEN” VIA ARISTA, BUT REALLY HIT THE RUBBER TO THE ROAD IN 2024 WITH THE WILDLY SUCCESSFUL STREAMER “GOD NEEDS THE DEVIL”.
THOUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF ‘24 AND INTO ‘25, WE GOT AN EP AND A HANDFUL OF SINGLES THAT ULTIMATELY WERE A SOFT LAUNCH TO WHAT WOULD BECOME JONAH’S FIRST ALBUM THAT DIDN’T STRADDLE THE 6-7, LONGFORM EP. SUNFLOWERS AND LEATHER MADE IT’S DEBUT TO THE WORLD LAST WEEK, AND WHILE THE FLAME HASN’T FULLY SPARKED YET FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, IT’S A FANTASTIC SET UP FOR THE YOUNG SONGWRITER. IT TAKES MANY ARTISTS MULTIPLE ALBUMS TO FINALLY FIND THAT BIG BREAK, HELL… NOAH IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT, RELEASING TWO FULL LENGTH ALBUMS BEFORE STICK SEASON BLEW UP AND STADIUMS BECAME HIS VENUE. SO, ENJOY THE FRUITS OF WHAT SUNFLOWERS IS NOW, CATCH JONAH AT THE LOCAL 500 PERSON VENUE WHILE YOU CAN, BECAUSE THIS KID IS TOO TALENTED TO STAY IN THE SHADOWS WAITING. IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME…
