Jon Snodgrass

​Jon Snodgrass (from the album TACE on A-F Records)
Peel back the layers on Jon Snodgrass and his core is all Rock. When he is touring solo overseas Jon Snodgrass is a real-deal rough around the edges Folk-dude. The recorded output of his work in Drag the River is filed under Alt Country and his work in Armchair Martian is stowed in the Punk section. Roll away the years to his Missouri childhood to find skateboards soundtracked by Husker Du. Dig into the latest Jon Snodgrass release TACE to hear a little Drag the River and a little Armchair Martian behind a healthy dose of Rock keepers. “Renaissance Man” has the power chords and aggressive surge that nods to the company he’s keeping with bands such as The Descendents, ALL, and The Blasting Room, Jon Snodgrass keeping that charge rolling into “Brand New Lands”.
“Don’t Break Her Heart” is a guitar-heavy, sentimental sandwich, the first :20 and final :40 seconds all power chords and drum rolls bookending a big ballad. 
“BoyzIIMen” is tender, sad, and wonderful, the equally heavy, equally wonderful “1-2-3-4,” following with Jon Snodgrass sneaking in tributes to Uncle Tupelo and Ramones. “The Sequel” is just that, part 2 of a Drag the River song, a ripping cut with buddy Joe that is a punk pal road trip scored by Ronnie James Dio. “Go Baseball” nods to Snodgrass’s son and a love of baseball, with the title track being the exclamation point for the national pastime. With no silent seconds between songs there’s not a wasted moment, and Jon Snodgrass loaded the record with buddies, an all-star roster of a backing band that include members of The Descendents, Rise Against, Lagwagon, and more.
