Saturday, September 2 Palatine Presents: The Bones of J.R. Jones and Benjamin Dakota Rogers FREE SHOW!!!The Bones of J.R. Jones is coming back to Palatine Park. Although he pulled off a sublime set back in 2021 which you can still watch on our YouTube page, the weather kept most people from catching it live so we had to try again. Over the course of three full-length albums and two EPs, Jonathon Robert Linaberry — the songwriter, storyteller, visual artist, and one-man band behind The Bones of J.R. Jones — has woven his own tapestry of American roots music. It's a classic sound for the modern world, influenced not only by blues, soul, and forward-thinking folk, but also by J.R.'s environment.
From the bustle of New York City, where he launched The Bones of J.R. Jones with 2012's The Wildness, to the rustic solitude of his current home in the Catskills, J.R. has always looked to the world around him for inspiration. The most compelling artists among us don't replicate their past; instead, they evolve. The last show marked a new stage in The Bones of J.R. Jones' own evolution, fusing the songwriter's southern gothic sound — a sound rooted in acoustic instruments and J.R.'s woozy vocals — with drum machines, analog synths, vibraphone, and the rich, dark tones of a Magnatone amplifier. Don’t miss this opportunity to catch the next evolution of his sound which you’ve probably already heard on TV and radio.
Benjamin Dakota Rogers wields one of those distinct, immediate, and truly wild voices. With a studied nod to old-time and bluegrass rhythms, his unvarnished sound effectively smashes the barrier between past and present. Hailing from his family’s farm in Southwestern Ontario, Rogers grew up building greenhouses, growing vegetables, and living off the land. It’s impossible to separate Rogers’ knack for brisk syncopation from the terrain he knows so well. In fact, the intense tension of Rogers’ voice – complete with a sweeping rasp and a flying drawl – seems to come directly from the farm’s wellspring. Delivering songs from a deep well of passion for storytelling, Rogers’ lyric sensibility is rare among young artists. 2019’s Better By Now introduced Rogers as a unique talent in Americana. Inspired by fellow troubadours Tyler Childers and Colter Wall, Benjamin has shared stages around the USA with the likes of Molly Tutle, Shovels & Rope, and The Milk Carton Kids. With a stream of new singles released over the past year, Rogers is riding a creative wave.
