Jonathan’s Favorite Musicians

The Silos and Walter Salas-Humara
The finest in domestic rock, with coolness abounding. A lyrical, musical and atmospheric delight. Walter is the producer for Jonathan's Public Library album!

The Rainmakers and Bob Walkenhorst
A perfect balance of mind-blowingly interesting lyrics and butt-kickingly rocking guitars and drums. They’re Midwestern, rootsy, and garagey, with a very distinctive take on rock & roll. Their concept album Skin was a major influence on Jonathan's Sound Theology project.

Jon Brion
One of Jonathan's production heroes, and an amazing instrumentalist as well. High points include his own solo album, as well as his work with The Grays, Rhett Miller, and…

Aimee Mann
…perhaps the finest songwriter of the 1990s. Jonathan & Beki Hemingway even opened for Aimee once!

Eels
Supremely clever lyrics, production, and instrumentation. Simultaneously rocking, depressing, and uplifting, thanks to band frontman E. Their concept album Electro-Shock Blues was a major influence on Jonathan’s Sound Theology project. Also check out this honorary Eel…

Lisa Germano
Yes, she has played violin with everyone from Eels to David Bowie to John Mellencamp, but her solo albums are completely arresting. Her concept album Geek The Girl was another major influence on Jonathan’s Sound Theology project.

The Pursuit of Happiness
Heavy melodic rock from this lovelorn Canadian band. Hugely important in Jonathan's musical awakening.

David Baerwald
This is some of the most challenging rock & roll out there, from his early work with David + David all the way to his excellent new material. Baerwald’s Triage album was a major influence on Jonathan’s Sound Theology project.

Michael Hall
Austin, Texas’ finest. His song “A Better Place” is covered on Jonathan Rundman’s Sound Theology album. Hall has been making very influential roots-rock since the ’80s and has worked with The Silos and Dolly Varden.

The Hooters
Hearing these guys play mandolin and accordion in a rock band set Jonathan Rundman down the music-biz path. Great American pop songwriting and killer instrumentation!

Buddy & Julie Miller
What harmony vocals! What amazing songwriting! What breathtaking guitar playing! What fine people!

Parthenon Huxley
Parthenon made a cool solo album in the late ’80s, and since then has solidified his reputation as one of the best unknown pop songwriters with his band P.Hux.

Maria McKee
Jonathan has been able to keep up with Maria’s rather bizarre career arc, from cowpunk honkytonk teen-queen to modern theatrical diva. The common denominators have been interesting songs and that voice!

Liz Phair
Totally inspirational song-structuring and delicious attitude that never quits. Perhaps the world's finest female rock songwriter?

Bruce Cockburn
Virtuoso folk-rock spanning four decades, with some of the most provocative lyrics ever written.

Chuck Prophet
Too cool for words. Cool cool cool. Funky, garagey, twangy, and just completely cool at all times.

Styx
Jonathan's favorite band from elementary school. Their concept album Paradise Theater was a major influence on Jonathan’s Sound Theology project.

Dan Baird
Superbly rocking songwriter, solo artist, frontman for the Yayhoos and Georgia Satellites, and fabulous producer for Chris Knight.

Tommy Womack
Not unlike Dan Baird, and carrying on the rock-meets-brainy/clever tradition of The Rainmakers, Tommy also provides inspiration for anyone soldiering on in showbiz despite relative obscurity.
