POP: Folky Pop, ROCK: Acoustic
Details:
Seven years ago, the band that would become drowning jonah (formerly "Tried by Fire") was just a group of high school friends that liked to entertain others with their love of acapella music. While their listeners felt their music was fun and upbeat, the band members felt the call to expand their love of singing into the complicated world of rock n'' roll. This meant not only leaving behind the success of their acapella music, but also the difficult task of learning to play new instruments.
Eight years later, after many trials that may have broken apart other bands, drowning jonah has found the sound that it was inspired to create from the beginning. New fans, both young and old, have found reasons to sit up and take notice of their intense passion for both music and people.
The neo-folk/americana sounds that drowning jonah now create have a very specific purpose: to inspire their listeners to question the meaning of their own lives just as each band member has had to do. Their songs speak of their individual struggles to find meaning and help to point their listeners in the direction of spiritual self-discovery. It is this desire to lead others to another level of spiritual fulfillment that drives the band''s stirring music.
Drowning Jonah is rounded out with members Ryan Henry (lead vocals, mandolin), Mike Brocker (lead vocals, guitar), Kevin Kilpatrick (harmonica, guitar), Randy Marksberry (bass), Jeff Boriss (Lead guitar), and Jon Boriss (drums). Each member brings a different musical perspective that combines to create a unique musical experience that is both striking and satisfiying.
What sets Drowning Jonah apart from other modern rock acts is its combination of traditional folk instruments (mandolin, harmonica, acoustic guitar) with the driving energy of a powerful rock three-piece. The resulting mix is both energetic and melodic while maintaining a clear message. According to Janice Gallagher of the Northern Kentucky Post, "their music sends a reassuring message of faith and underscores how Christianity helps us through the low points of our lives."
