Details:
Jonathan Ramsey stirs a driving acoustic mix of brash protest and pub songs with haunting and sweet ballads. The result is a full, percussive, melodic mix of Irish traditional, and modern acoustic folk amusement. Jonathan''s newest recording, "Live at Cruisin'' Route 66", showcases the broad dynamics of his on-stage sound, including his trademark songs of love, rebellion, murder, and the compulsory smattering of "happy songs about death".
Raised both on the New Jersey shore and in land-locked Missouri, Jonathan is neither a rock musician working at Irish music, nor a folk singer struggling to cross over. He''s purely a product of being Irish and American in a modern world.
