The Cars and Elvis Costello had a baby. Sam Cooke was godfather. It got into computers, bought a synthesizer, and learned the cello. It drinks with Warren Zevon, and sobers up with Marshall Crenshaw. It likes to dance sometimes.

Delmont was born in the streets of Philadelphia when a broken guitar was found in a dumpster. Since then, nothing has been the same. Delmont draws its inspiration from the same attitude Philly is know for: hard work and passion. Everyone there understands that nothing is given and if you want something you must work to the bone for it.
The band was initially formed by Sean Ramirez and Joey Fontana writing acoustic songs in an apartment in Manayunk. With Sean’s soulful raspy vocals and Joey’s virtuosic guitar playing, this small passion project slowly gave birth to something bigger. The duo was eventually joined by bassist Colby Fischang, guitarist Ryan Branagh, and drummer Jonah Kazman. With Colby’s funky bass lines and Jonah’s chest pounding drum beats and Ryan's massive grooves rounding out the rhythm section, the line up was complete and Delmont was born. An unrivaled passion for music resonated within the group and gave rise to this unique audio experiment.
Delmont strives to imbue it’s sound with the grit and soul of the blues, and the passion and energy of rock. They understand to many music can answer life’s difficult questions, and to answer those questions you need to be both tender and tough. By embracing many styles of music, while still keeping it’s roots in soul, blues, and rock they aim to accomplish that balance. Delmont knows that anything worth doing right takes a lot of sweat and a lot of whiskey. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of joy. Their mission is to be the soundtrack of your triumphs, your pitfalls, your victories, your failures, your struggles, and your celebrations

OFFICIAL SOUNDCLOUD OF THE JAYHAWKS

2020 JAYHAWKS ALBUM XOXO AVAILABLE HERE:  https://orcd.co/xoxo MORE INFO: https://bit.ly/2xQ8Pr0

The incredible harmonies and distinctive arrangements of The Jayhawks set them apart from the rest of the Minneapolis music scene that emerged in the 1980s. By the early 90’s they became a driving force and inspiration behind the growing Americana movement. Combining the talents of singer-songwriters Gary Louris and Mark Olson, The Jayhawks released their major label debut, the acclaimed Hollywood Town Hall (1992) on the Def American label. This was followed by Tomorrow the Green Grass (1995), which produced the alternative radio hit single “Blue.”

When Olson left to pursue a solo career, Louris singularly took over the songwriting role in The Jayhawks creating the band’s enduring sound on some of their best selling and well-received albums including Smile (2000) and Rainy Day Music (2003). Louris continues to write and tour with the longtime core group of Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg, and Tim O’Reagan. While the touring line-up has changed over the years and Olson briefly reappeared in 2010 to record and tour, this classic lineup maintains a commitment to adventure and forward motion in their shows and in their recordings. Paging Mr. Proust (2016), was produced in Portland with Peter Buck and Tucker Martine, and broke new ground for the band while receiving some of the best reviews in the band's history. In 2018, The Jayhawks released Back Roads and Abandoned Motels, and album that largely consists of Jayhawks versions of songs that Gary Louris wrote with other artists + 2 new originals.

In July 2020 The Jayhawks released their 10th studio album, XOXO on Sham / Thirty Tigers.
