This Is Yonder Mountain String Band

It seems this band arrived from another decade as their old school sound oozes vintage 70s rock with a blend of Stones meets the Allmans but with modern influences like Kings of Leon.  Currently selling out 400-seat venues in their hometown where they enjoy a cult following and already a regular on the fraternity circuit, ARC is the next breakout artist from the Southeast and is currently on tour behind their debut EP Atlas Road Crew produced by Mark Bryan of Hootie and the Blowfish.

A Cinematic Bluegrass Journey by AzSolo

Dust on the Blue Ridge is a storytelling album carved from the heart of the Appalachians — a journey across mountains, memory, heartbreak, forgiveness, and home. Blending warm acoustic instruments with cinematic atmosphere, AzSolo brings bluegrass into a new light: intimate, emotional, and deeply human.

Each song is a chapter in the story of a wanderer returning to the Carolina hills after years of running from pain. Along the way he confronts ghosts on old highways, unsent letters, lost love, family roots, and the mountain truths he tried to outrun.

From the gentle ache of “A Letter I Never Sent”, to the haunting echoes of “When the Train Cries Through the Valley,” to the triumphant healing of “I Found My Heart in These Hills Again,” this album captures the spirit of Appalachia through honesty and cinematic depth.

This is music for long drives, quiet nights, slow mornings, and anyone who’s ever tried to come home again — to a place, a memory, or themselves.

The Girl I Left in Boone

Before It’s Too Late is a country rock album about waking up in the middle of your life and realising how quietly it’s been slipping by. These songs trace the path from living on autopilot, to being the dependable one for everyone else, to finally drawing a line and choosing yourself. Not out of anger. Out of necessity. The album doesn’t shout or point fingers. It listens, remembers, and tells the truth. Lyrically, this record leans into narrative and reflection rather than easy rhymes. It speaks to the people who carried the load, kept the peace, and stayed too long, until one day they didn’t. There’s guilt here. There’s grief for time already spent. But there’s also relief, space, and a quiet kind of hope. Musically, Before It’s Too Late blends grounded country storytelling with rock textures that feel lived in rather than polished. Songs build and pull back naturally, letting emotion do the work. The result is an album that feels less like a performance and more like a conversation you didn’t know you needed. This isn’t a promise of perfection or reinvention. It’s a decision to live honestly while there’s still time. For anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, “I don’t want to miss my own life,” this album is for you.

Hi! 👋 

Hey , yo yo ,  ..This is my Ninja , We whack’n a body, 
No one fat or special, just a fuck at a party”’ 
And head out slow, and 1 nautical speed
We Star gauze our eyes out, we’re alive you see?
At real deal health, we swat with a belt,
No belly to belch,earth, we live.  in shit, 
Money and greed, take over your ship 
Respect your spit, and give it a lick, we Gett’n our own
Yea, what’s good?   Naw naw, ninja, guess who’s back? 


Nice to meet you 🧙👁️ 🔥 on-lock. Here we go! I'm 38, married, 4 kids, grew up in L.A suburbs SFV and SCV, earned an AS, BA, and MS in Recreation Management, and I like snowboarding, whitewater kayaking and dirt biking. I currently live in a small mountain town, have a good view out my window, and I have amazing people around to play with. 

So .... how can I NOT be inspired to listen and play music? I appreciate the creative and the scientific processes now, more than ever. I'm hooked and I fucking love the stuff that is coming out these days... Griz, CloZee, Ganja, Big Gigantic, Tape B... the list goes on and on... 

It grounds me daily, influences my actions, can put me in high places, and take me out of misery. Next to God, it is a catalyst for producing love, and fire, and purpose. 

Again, music puts me back on my line, on-lock, then when the conditions are primed and lined up, BOOM! ... Frontside Layback Slash with everything you got. Ha! Siiiiick.

Hi! I'm Jonathan.

I have been DJing since 2020, and still building my foundation. I enjoy electronic bass music with funky, reggae, and hip-hop, gangster AF lines to go with it. I’ve started to branch out of my living room gigs and into the local bars here in Kernville, a rural whitewater town in the southern Sierra in California. I’m learning as I go, love my people, and definitely enjoying the ride, as my crazy tells me...
