Crackle And Shake

Gravelhead

Sweet and sad, longing for home in the Heartland.  

Heartland

Xmas eve jam with Raul (on harp too) - maroon-5 but cooler vibe

Podunk Nowhere is a poetically lawless, ORGANIC mix of Alt-Country/Americana bred from the illegitimate schools of Ryan Adams, Jeff Tweedy, and Lucinda Williams.  Fierce and sexy, sometimes solemn vocals reverberate over drearily beautiful guitar transitions.  This band brands the San Diego music scene with a fresh dose of originality, igniting intrigue across Southern California stages and beyond.

“Heather Janiga and guitar wielding hubby Johnny J. are a formidable songwriting duo. Her airy voice has an indie vibe, at times hinting at a folky Portishead or P.J. Harvey. Their country songs’ sweet vocal arrangements are akin to Lucinda Williams and Wilco.” 
-Derek E. Shaw of the San Diego Troubadour

“Since their fateful meeting years ago, the pair has become one of San Diego’s most popular acts on the singer-songwriter circuit.” 
Bart Mendoza of the Peninsula Beacon

“Podunk Nowhere has such a wonderful sound you could easily, as a critic once wrote of Billie Holiday, listen to them perform the telephone directory.” 
Jim Trageser of the North County Times
