Hi Jonathan - It was great working with you and Carole on the packaging for the new CD... Thank you for my copy of "Siren Call" - it's evocative and complex. "Taken by Storm" feels like being stranded on a rocking ship, searching for shoreline... very cool. Looking forward to the new album!

This is Lauren Calista. We met at the DFCI Music Therapy event recently. It was so nice to meet you and hear you play. I'd love to come visit you and Brian at DFCI and do what I can to help keep music therapy going! As you may recall I am a 2nd year Expressive/Music Therapy grad student at Lesley. Hope to stay in touch! Best, Lauren
PS - Would love to hear about your travels in Portugal some time. I am part Portuguese and one of my dreams is to visit my distant relatives in the Azores!

Dear Jonathan, my rockstar!

As a classically trained pianist, you're the only rocker I've known and adored. I am honored to sign your guestbook.

I don't know if it was serendipity or a force, somehow better explained, that helped our paths cross. While we met in the context of philanthropy and music-medicine at Harvard, our journeys past, ongoing, and prospective, have seen much common ground and passion.

There are stars already shining from behind your shoulder, thanks to your many accomplishments and accolades from a 'few' previous lives that you've lived. That these eclectic accomplishments help provide a powerful platform for you to "rock with a driven philosophy" is an understatement.

In the business of 'changing the world', we need more people like you. I look forward with delight, to the years to come, to the many new paths we'll create together, leaving trails behind.

Keep rocking Jonathan! And may Planet Earth rock with you!

Cheers,
Mohan

I have been a Jonathan fan for two plus years. My favorite songs are "All Prayed Out" and "Capital L". Both songs are about two activities near and dear to me: Praying and Loving. The songs remind me when I'm all prayed out that what I have left is praying and loving, after all what else is there?

November 17, 2008

This past Saturday we enjoyed a wonderful evening with Jonathan playing an incredible array of songs as the fire warmed our living room. The pulsating rhythms and wonderful lyrics complimented a great dinner as friends shared memories throughout the night. As the rock music played, we could not believe how fortunate we were to have this fabulous performer entertaining us. Thank you Jonathan for joining us.

Querido Jonathan,

Espero que los recuerdos de este ultimo viaje a Europa y en partcular de Barcelona aun se encuentren muy frescos en tu memoria.

He tardado en firmar tu "guestbook" mas sin embargo nunca he dejado de tenerlo presente en mi mente. Nuestro encuentro, de caracter profesional en primera instancia, ha dado nacimiento a una amistad que esperamos perdure.

Ha sido un verdadero placer y un honor conocerte. Eres de esas personas que dejan huella a su paso.

Espero verdaderamente que puedas realizar tu objetivo de volver a Barcelona para instalarte y cuando asi sea .... volveremos a organizarnos para disfrutar de una velada como la que compartimos escuchando buena musica y charlando ntre buenos "amigos".

No dejes de dar noticias. Qué tal Savannah?

Un beso y un abrazo fuertes.

A très bientôt...

When a Yankee meets a “Pro-American” Frenchman in Barcelona; when the first one is a great singer and the second an advertising and marketing actor enjoying a great time in this smashing Mediterranean capital; who knows what may come out of it!

Thank you Jonathan for coming to our place and give us an occasion to listen to your music and songs.

Hope to see you again very soon.

Take it easy!

Hey, Jonathan,
Another fun, music filled day!

THANK YOU!

It was awesome to see a smile on Paul’s face playing the guitar with you guys…

It has been weeks…months since I have seen a glimpse of his carefree moods emerge…

Thanks for working your magic…and working with these kids…you’re a natural mentor, musician and awesome person…

With gratitude-Dixie

Jonathan,

I just wanted to thank you again for all of your time and effort that have made the Rockin' Time workshops at Dana-Farber such a success so far. In my experience as a music therapist, I have to say that it is inspiring to me to work with good people like you that really get what music therapy is all about...and in your case, are willing to help make sure it can continue to benefit those patients that most need it.

The Jimmy Fund patients you have spent time with have been transformed by this experience. As you know, I spend time making making music regularly with these patients in the resource room and infusion room treatment areas. I must tell you I have never seen them so excited about their music and the potential they have!

I have truly enjoyed our partnership in making this happen! I look forward to future workshops and especially to the June 7th benefit concert.

Thanks again Jonathan for your energy, sensitivity, and generosity!

See you soon - Brian Jantz, MT-BC/DFCI music therapist

Hi Jonathan!

Just touching base to let you know how grateful I am for your support to the Jimmy Fund Clinic and ultimately to the kids. Thank you for sharing your passion and talent for music with my son Paul last week. It truly was an inspiring day and brought some sort of normalcy to Paul’s chaotic life… He has been dealing with illness and hardships for so long, a little bit of reprieve and fun was just what he needed….

In 2001, five days before the twin towers collapsed, Paul was hit by a car and given last rites-he remained in a coma for two months…when he awoke he could not talk, walk or move. He was transferred to Franciscans Children’s Hospital in Brighton and was there for 6 months relearning the most basics of tasks… he returned to school in a wheel chair…then to a walker and eventually was able to walk to the podium on his own to receive his high school diploma!(honors) He continued out patient therapies working with PT, OT and speech therapies for three years after the crash. Then- Unbelievably 4 years after his traumatic brain injury he received the shocking and heartbreaking diagnosis of Cancer-Leukemia, CML. Thankfully his 11 year old brother was a perfect donor match and Paul underwent a bone marrow transplant in 2005 with more months in the hospital and years of dealing with the aftermath isolation, loneliness and-graph versus host disease…he has been cancer free for two years, but we have just learned that there are traces of the leukemia back in his blood again…..

Like you Paul wants to make some good out of all the bad and he too gives back- he has volunteered at the hospital that first stabilized him-and he and I talk at hospitals, schools camps on the reality of traumatic brain injury and the importance of wearing a helmet. He speaks at fundraisers for Franciscans Children’s Hospital and for Andrews Helpful Hands, which helps families who are going through BM transplant.

I have just self- published a memoir of “How One Family Triumphed Through Tragedy” and am now seeking a “real” Publisher….any thoughts….:) (Oh, by the way Paul is one of Eight children!)

Paul was on TV last week and I auctioned off a copy of my book Coming to Consciousness, the highest bid was 175$ !!! Check it out!
http://www.thebostonchannel.com/asseenon5/15517565/detail.html click on Paul’s smile

Any way I just wanted to share and to thank you! Paul has lost his teen age years and has been very isolated, so it was great for him to interact and to be doing some thing that he loves…MUSIC!

You are very inspiring and interact with the kids in a natural way, helping to motivate and to give encouragement…and hope. Hope to see you in a couple of weeks! Have an amazing day and week!

Fondly,

Dixie Fremont-Smith Coskie

PS. Paul and I totally enjoyed listening to your CDs on our way home from Dana Farber-we were jamming! Thank you for the CDs and sharing your time and passion with us.

Peace.

Hi Jonathan,

Who is giving the fundraiser for "kill the cancer" in hopkinton, Ma?
I am involved in the Cultural Arts Alliance in Hopkinton and know
quite a few people in the area. Have done a fair share of cancer
fundraising events in the last couple of years.
Sounds like you are doing well and doing what you love. Very
important for one's soul. I have also gone back to my artwork full-
time. Have a studio in Ashland, where I work everyday and teach out of.
Take care,
Karyn

"Siren Call" takes "Launch" beyond the second stage of a "rock-et" destined for places no one has journeyed to. In the end, I felt every song displayed a passion for musical and lyrical purity and integrity that I have rarely heard.....a killer collection of hearfelt and soulful thunder claps of honesty and originality. "Siren Call" is not something to listen to just once because it draws you back again and again with haunting hooks, licks and color that leave you with a severe craving for more. Beyond Jonathan's and Pam McCann's powerful presence, the band will knock your socks off....

Pam McCann

My heart is "Villed with Nash"! Proud to be part of the Siren Call journey. I feel the calling! peace, love & music, Pam

Great debut CD! Jonathan combines world-class songwriting and production with an excellent voice and superb stringwork to make a great record. It is soulful, soothing, and wise, bringing a fresh sound to the game. The amazing part is, that on the CD, he is great, but he is even better yet in a live performance. See him live. It's alive!

John Oberdorf

November 25, 2005

Jonathan Auerbach lives his life with a "Sieze the day" mentality. It may be at dinner or during a conversation when there is a sudden pause and a far away look will come over him. one senses that mayhem is about to ensue; in this case of a positive sort. His sense of creativity allows him to engage in what I call 'entertaining possibilities'. His mind travels to far lands even as he has done in the flesh. He has been to and written of places that most of us merely dream about. His friends and neighbors span the continents. Who could ever doubt that the music produced by such a man is as evolved and insightful as his outlook on life. With the world as his muse may Odysseus not return home too soon.

Jonathan's soulful and thoughtful lyrics touch the heart with feelings we can all relate to. The complex melodies and his heartfelt love of life create a powerful message.

Jonathon's music is best appreciated live so don't miss a chance to catch a performance!

Thanks Jonathon for sharing yourself with us, we had a great time.

Mr. Auerbach offers the freshest marriage of music and lyrics that I've heard in many years. The music lures, but he captures the hearts and minds with his lyrics -- which are deliously surprising at times and are always crafted to complement the mood he creates with his melodies. In an era of repetitive, thoughtless ramblings his words tell a story and(dare I mention it)offer up something of value for your mind to ponder and relish.
