Jonny finds poetry in the authentic and raw feelings of life and enjoys finding beautiful ways to lyrically expose them as awkward, hard, or painful as that pursuit gets at times.
Alongside carefully crafted lyrics, powerful music and arrangements, Jonny’s vocals have been lauded by many as one of the most unique and powerful voices they’ve ever heard. Jonny’s voice was created with a specific recipe of practice, hot tea, cigarettes, Glen Hansard, and screaming at the top of his lungs for hours on end.
Jonny’s career has taken him to highs and lows, dive bars and yacht clubs; he has performed for dozens as well as thousands alongside many national and locals acts including Parachute, Penny & Sparrow, Kris Allen at venues such as Sunken Garden Amphitheater, The Paper Tiger, El Corazon and more.

Influences
Hailing from the dusty, semi-urban flatlands of San Antonio Texas, Jonny Gold grew up on James Taylor, Johnny Cash, and Bob Dylan, rebelled in his teens with punk, post-rock, and post-hardcore sweetness, and has spent a career trying to find a bridge between it all. Jonny’s music is sweet and melodic, reminiscent of the best of the best singer-songwriters, yet passionate and electric as all his indie rock gods. The sad cowboy grew up in a hyper-conservative Christian circle which will be deeply explored in his debut album “The Fever”.
