Currently, the trio is in the midst of a busy winter in both Southern California and Arizona.

Audiences and critics have characterized Jonathan Karrant as a great interpreter of song, a storyteller, a singer who brings music and lyric alive. Some refer to Karrant as an amazing song-stylist who sings from the American songbook, an entertainer on his way to international success. Jonathan provides quality sound equipment and works with some very accomplished musicians. His duo includes vocal and piano or guitar. All musicians have they're own interments and equipment. His album, “On and On” hit #4 in the jazz charts and he was recently honored in the first annual NYC Jazz/Cabaret Honors. “A voice, romantic without being cloying, warm but not forced, Karrant carries these songs with an emotional weight that make it seem at times as if he had written them himself. Just listen to his jazzy makeover of the Beatles' eternally beautiful "In My Life" and hear the yearning in his singing.” –Jazz Corner Jonathan Karrant works straight out of the American songbook with a level of manly confidence and jazz suave and bonhomie that was patented by Mel Torme himself. -The Reader magazine www.jonathankarrant.com

I played professionally for ~30 years much of it in Detroit and LA and elsewhere. I'm not comfortable with tooting my own horn, so maybe just go to my youtube page and listen to what I used to put up there. I played with Tony Ortega (for a local reference) and many others but those were in other cities. I've never stopped playing or practicing. I mostly play straight-on jazz.

LORD HOWLER is all about the twin guitar attack, hooks you can remember and riffs to break stuff to. Sab, Priest, Maiden, QOTSA, Metallica, Soundgarden, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Slayer, Dead Kennedys, Motorhead, Turbonegro...hey those bands all sound different! Exactly.

Sweaty rock songs. Cool visuals. Drinks.

sick balloons began back in 2004 as a modest attempt at learning to play guitar-based music via bedroom, and also as a means of alternate expression from other musical meanderings. a lot of the earlier demos were made simply with sister's bass, sampler and 8track (digital, yes). various recordings were passed out amongst friends during this time. in early 2009 after a few years of musical dormancy new recordings began to develop, resulting in sharpened and matured standing amongst previous output. 2011 saw the release of the first official tape/digital release, "farewell to the swagger kids." shortly after that, begat live procurement fixturing, and the first incarnation of the band. 2013, balloons were seen with 'prague over brooklyn,' a revisit to imperfections and home-fi. 2014 found more experimentation and home recordings with a new record, 'north citrus helvetica.' after a few shifts and rearrangements, the current roster is aligned with the bravado of punk-informed anthems alongside pop songwriting and a ton of FUZZ. 'telescopes (on) parade,' our fourth, albeit first full fledged, full band record, is in progress, helmed by our good friend, Dave Matthies. thanks for being one of our [sic] friends.
