Jonny Meyers and the JMQ's latest release, “The Moment You Arrive,” (Nov 2, 2021) jumps off as a culmination of the genres that have always informed his songwriting - blues, soul, rock, country and Jamaican ska/reggae - to folks that have been listening to his music over time.   With this record, Jonny curated things differently by bringing in Michael TA Thompson to produce something that put the clarity of the writing and the organic feel of a long standing band to the forefront.  There are no guest musicians, little bells and whistles, and a true sense of gratitude from a band that loves playing together, especially following an unprecedented time apart due to COVID-19.   The lyrical content and weaving song structures reflect how music and life inform each other.   Songs like “Jubal” celebrate the life and legacy of a friend/fellow musician, while songs like “Inspiration” talk about the writing process and where ideas come from.
