Three Jonathan blazers from HEARD  --  The Soul, The Better Music and Brave Woman, Brave Man -- spinning on on WOMR 92.1 fm radio and on the internet.  From Tom Brogan, WOMR DJ and Host, who reviews HEARD on the “press” page of  this  website:

"IT'S A HIT, MAN!  Range, depth, beats, twists, and licks… On HEARD, Jonathan Auerbach deftly mixes a voice of piercing lyrics with soaring music."

A word from Jonathan on my HEARD song “Brave Woman, Brave Man” that has listeners abuzz: a rousing anthem salute to U.S. troops, special because for the first time equally honors American women along with our men at war.  The song isn’t jingoistic; rather it celebrates courage under fire for a worthy cause while reflecting every soldier’s longing to see war end.

Guitar guys Jonathan and Tim with engineer Steve, jumpin' starts, swappin' smarts, talkin' charts, throwin' darts, & playin' parts!

Charmed first session for "HEARD" -- howlin' great!

Thrilled that after a year in pre-production, it's lock & load here in Nashville, my band amped & armed, full assault underway on 3rd all-original rock CD, February 2010 release on my Arrofire Music/ASACAP label.

I'm firein' guitar and lead vocals... #!*!!&$!! awesome talent I'm fronting... Beatin' on drums, Angelo Colloura. Groovin' on bass, George Hawkins Jr. Gunnin' electric guitar, Tim Galloway. Beltin' background vocals, Carole Charlin.

The bomb! ...

A winner! Special guest classical musicians opened, Jonathan headlines smash music therapy fundraiser in stylish Harvard University venue on the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. Full house of stoked supporters and fans, beaucoup $$$ raised, thank you all for the lift! Thought I'd loft a few thoughts about the art & science of MT...


The power of music to heal us and transform lives is the oldest of truths and the original universal health plan. Mens sana en corpore Sanum. From the Latin, sound mind in sound body. Sound indeed. Call it tunes in the head. For we are nothing if not a musical species, the science indisputable, well understood by neurologists who know the role of music in the brain. For example, in music therapy for parkinson’s disease, tempo, rhythm and organized time are key, all of which those patients lack. For Alzheimer’s disease, emotional evocativeness is key, emotions and memories being precisely what these patients have lost.

Powerful medicine, though much like love, is always part mystery. And there you have it. Who would disagree that perhaps the only thing more terrible than a world without music would be one without love?… Unless of course you’re a music hater, like Sigmund Freud was. Maybe Freud wouldn’t have succumbed to Beatle Mania. But I cling to the belief he would have downloaded my music from iTunes...

All tour(n) up, and on the plane home... 5-weeks livin' & lovin' it, making music all across dreamy, warm and welcoming Portugal. Will post a more reflective album-length musico-travel offering when I get home, but here's the single: Full house A+ venues everywhere with stoked audiences keyed to my all-original tunes -- who wouldn't let me offstage and went home with signed Siren Call CD's. Hey, Hey now...To my new fans and friends -- Obrigado! As promised I'll be back soon (can't wait!) to rock you with a new CD. Fondly, JA

Castelo de Santiago do Barro (from where the town acquired the latter part of its name), was built in the 16th century under the orders of King Philip I of Spain in order to protect the port from pirates. They didn't know I was coming...

Rockin' Vagueira at Perlimpimpim for a second night...

Escondido numa colina do Douro, existe um lugar antigo
que as gerações anteriores guardaram e que o tempo soube manter, como segredo.
O segredo chama-se QUINTA DO ERVEDAL.
Hoje a família abre as portas da casa para si.
Venha conhecer o Douro.
Venha conhecer a QUINTA DO ERVEDAL...


“A casa do Ervedal levanta-se na parte superior da quinta do mesmo nome que, em degraus formados por largos campos, vai descendo até às margens do rio Teixeira, um pouco acima da confluência deste com o Douro. É casa de aparência nobre a cujo terreiro dá acesso um elegante e formoso portão."

Smashed, crashed, crushed it! Blistering show at this hip artists haunt for Lisbon's artsy smart set. See ya next spring.

Estabelecida que está a função do Estúdio PerFormas na comunidade artística local e nas suas dinâmicas de relação com o que melhor se faz a nível nacional, e considerado ainda o peso que a música detém na totalidade da programação, a comemoração do Dia Mundial da Música afigurou-se como um bom pretexto para promover um ciclo de programação especial, juntando artistas do circuito internacional com outros que são habitués da casa, conseguindo-se assim um espaço embrionário para explorar e celebrar a diversidade das formas musicais. Que a festa se faça tocando, ouvindo, assobiando, dançando...

Este esforço só foi possível com a co-organização das Estruturas Artísticas Associadas Música.com, Oficina da Música, Quad Productions, Riff – Escola de Música, a parceria (e cumplicidade) da Granular, através da integração de algumas actividades do ciclo “Granular no PerFormas” e com o gentil apoio da SóMúsica.

JONATHAN AUERBACH
02 OUTUBRO [sexta-feira] 23 HORAS


Jonathan Auerbach é um músico norte-americano residente em Nashville, Tennessee, que vem apresentar o seu novo álbum de originais, “Siren Call”.

Portugal packs punch, J-Auerbach takes it like a man...grilled squid and salt-cod bacalao beat him right between the head lights, goes down for 8-count, gets up for more... castles tussle, he tosses back double espressos and parties... braves all-afternoon lunch of baby suckling pig with cracklin´ skin, gigs from midnight till 3:00 AM, pubs it, takes 14-hour nap.

The music flowed, the beer flowed and people poured in!

The Irish Bar is located in the historic and vibrant university town of Coimbra which was Portugal's capital city for centuries. Rich in history it is the oldest seat of learning in Portugal with a University founded on the 13th of August in 1290 by King Dinis. This makes it one of the oldest in the world.

Coimbra is a moody city, with back alley's and lanes to explore as well as a huge club scene.

Stellar show for some of Porto's music illuminati. Rock photographer did a shoot and the club shot video of the show. To be posted when I get home.

Jornal de Notícias, national daily newspaper printed in Porto, leading print media outlet in the north and Porto area of Portugal. Featuring my show at Tertúlia Castalense.

Powerhouse tour underway, and between sets walk across street from my digs to beach and surf up a storm...Slangin´it out in Portu-Spanglish. Here rough translation of mood --
Multo happy, eats the peaches and strange fishes, speaks bad lingua to the fishermens, who nods they understand every word. I goes amongst the folk like Lord Byron with my pocket pistols, across the sand, and makes miraculous trans-Atlantic walk, I returns to cheers, doubloons and the bray of an ass, have no itches of mosquitos, and what do you think of that, whilst I go a-pleasuring? Rock!

Great night at Perlimpimpim. The people here are so friendly and love the music!
