A passionate devotee of 1970s singer-songwriter traditions, Jonathan’s musical compositions reflect the thoughtful craftsmanship of that golden era. His repertoire flows effortlessly from intimate, introspective acoustic pieces like “There’s No Home” to powerful, blues-infused rock like “Color of My Eyes.” This versatility speaks to his broad musical palette—one that embraces yacht rock’s polished sophistication with the same enthusiasm as indie rock’s raw authenticity.

Jonathan’s musical versatility shines through his various performance projects. As a solo artist, he delivers intimate, personal performances that showcase his songwriting depth. With the acoustic duo Redcedar, he explores the rich textures of folk-inspired harmonies and storytelling, creating a warm, immersive sound that pays homage to the acoustic traditions he reveres.

His electric side emerges full force with STEAMROLLER, a blues rock band where Jonathan unleashes searing guitar work and powerful vocals. Born during the pandemic, the songs are political in nature, with titles such as “Demolition Man” and “Sonic Boom.” The band has become known for their dynamic live performances in Seattle that capture the energy and spirit of classic rock while incorporating contemporary elements that keep their sound fresh and relevant.
