A moody portrait of a man standing against a vertically striped wall in muted green and beige tones. He’s wearing a dark denim jacket over a button-up shirt and jeans, with his hands in his pockets and his head turned to the side. The lighting and slight vignette give the image a cinematic, vintage feel.

The Bones of J.R. Jones is the solo project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jonathon Linaberry from upstate New York. His music blends blues, folk, Americana, garage rock, and roots influences, often with a dark, cinematic feel.

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.
