“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson — legendary bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer — about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, the renowned audio engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, echoed Thompson’s sentiment: “Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album. I still listen to it.”

Conil’s music reached even further when Fleetwood Mac blues icon Peter Green made a rare visit to his studio, drawn by deep admiration. Their encounter led to a hauntingly mellow version of Conil’s homage to the jazz greats, “Woke Up Around Midnight.”

Few artists cross boundaries like Conil, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Admirers of his genre-defying sound include guitar icon Marc Ribot, British folk-blues pioneer Davey Graham, bass maestro Pino Palladino, and studio legend John Leckie.

As Strange Part of the Country continues to resonate with listeners around the world, it’s enjoying a well-deserved renaissance, becoming a lasting favorite.

Upon its release, the album made a quiet but undeniable impact in the UK. Q Magazine awarded it four stars and a coveted Q Recommends stamp, while Blues Matters featured Conil on its front cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.”

In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart, receiving widespread airplay across the country.

Growing up in England, Conil has always felt a deep connection to American music. With close family ties and long-standing friendships across the U.S., the bond runs both deep and personal.

In 2011, he embarked on a transformative decade-long journey through some of the world’s most musically rich cities. From the soul of New Orleans to the grit of New York, the depth of Chicago, and the spirit of Austin, then across the Atlantic to Berlin and Athens, he immersed himself in each place, chasing a deeper understanding of music and the lives it shapes.

Conil is currently working on his long-awaited second album, a project that reunites him with Danny Thompson and Tchad Blake.

@JTSunrise was born in Chicago, IL (the City of Blues) in 1968. JT grew up on a rural horse farm at Cuba Township near Fox River Grove, along the C&NW tracks, about an hour by train outside the city. Summer nights before the internet were for sleeping outside and watching stars, singing and playing guitar to his girlfriends, and hitching trains from his backyard. Anywhere JT went, he had his acoustic guitar slung around his back. JT also learned bass and banjo, and started a folk band in high school, playing house parties and school concerts and busking the commuter train station in Barrington, IL.

His teenage years took him around the world and to Tempe, AZ in 1987, (age 19) where he lived in the same building (and jammed often) with Spiral Stairs, a seminal guitarist who would later form the band Pavement. JT played acoustic sets at the legendary Sun Club. During this time, Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms (JT’s record store clerk friend) did his sound.

Seattle Music Era

Arriving in Seattle in 1992 with his Tempe barista girlfriend PJ (now wife), JT immersed himself in a city alive with music innovation. This was to become known as a time when Seattle bands reshaped the musical landscape. Amidst the scene, JTSunrise carved a niche and performed shows, blending busking music with the amplified Seattle sound, his Tempe-styled lyrical command, and the soul of Chicago street blues.

His performances became the background of Seattle’s music venues, from the intimate setting of **Art Bar** to the historic **OK Hotel**, where grunge legends made history. He captivated audiences at **Sit & Spin**, a venue combining a laundromat with a bar and live music, and found a true home at the **Lake Union Pub**, a legendary punk dive bar that embraced him as their own. Each chord, each lyric, carried the weight of personal experience.

Musical Influences and Style

JTSunrise draws from icons like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Billy Bragg, alongside bands he admired in Tempe such as Gin Blossoms and Dead Hot Workshop. The bands at the Sun Club and Long Wongs in Tempe, AZ shaped his sound and approach. These influences, coupled with the music scene in 1990s Seattle (including Elise Sauer, Obe-Wan Kenobe, and everyone to ever perform at the Lake Union Pub), molded his blend of folk, punk, country blues, and acoustic pop.

Signature Songs and Contributions

Among his many contributions to the musical landscape, a few songs stand out:
- **"Saint James Infirmary"**: A haunting rendition of the classic ballad.
- **"Biscuit Roller Blues"**: A soulful, gritty track that showcases blues roots.
- **"Kevin Song"**: A heartfelt, melodic piece that resonates deeply with listeners.
- **"Cure For Pain"**: A Morphine song that explores themes of struggle and redemption.
- **"Mama Tried"**: A tribute to Merle Haggard, blending acoustic blues with heartfelt emotion.
- **"O Danny Boy"**: A timeless ballad, rendered with sincerity and grace.
- **"Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"**: A fusion of folk and rock.

Prolific Output

JTSunrise has a substantial discography on SoundCloud, with over 200 tracks available. This includes a mix of original songs, raw covers, and collaborations with other artists. His music spans genres like folk, bluegrass and country blues, cowboy country, and 90s acoustic rock, reflecting his diverse influences.

Commitment to Seattle’s Artistic Community

JTSunrise’s influence extends beyond music. His commitment to authentic Seattle art is evident in his participation and support of local artists and musicians. As of 2024 he remains a licensed Pike Place Market busker, a role that allows him to share handmade music directly with the community any time, creating intimate, memorable experiences for locals and visitors.

Thanks everyone for support!

I am a professional mathematician and an amateur pianist and composer. I have many influences but impressionism is important to many of my compositions lately.

Minstrel Singer meets Male Chorale



My relentless pursuit of the song.



Over the last 12 years I've tried to hone my creativity and focus my lyrics in hopes of becoming a better songwriter. Alas, that final opinion will ultimately become yours, not mine.

Thanks for listening.

Pete Ham wrote a song called "Without You". It was a nice song but nothing special. That is until Harry Nilsson got a hold of it and created one of the greatest songs ever written. 

I love music for the creativity of it all.

This is a NO AI Zone!
