MCB is inviting you out to see Jonny "Corndawg" Fritz, aka the "new face of outlaw country" (and collaborator with Dawes, Deer Tick and others) on August 19 at Small's Backyard BBQ in Detroit. Now going by his real name, Jonny Fritz, he'll be performing with his Nashville-based band, The Almond Brothers - Josh Hedley (fiddle, vocals), Jerry Pentacost (drums) and Taylor Zachry (bass).
Jonny, who just tore it up at Newport Folk Fest, has also announced tour dates through August 2012, including shows with Dawes, the Alabama Shakes and Lucero (scroll down for complete dates). He's also working on music for the upcoming drug documentary Oxyana with Deer Tick's John McCauley; more on that soon. Offstage, Jonny is an airbrushing, leather-working, marathon-running, truck-driving machine who treats his body like a temple and country music like the gospel. He's been referred to as the "new face of outlaw country" (Nashville Scene) and his most recent release, Down on the Bikini Line, is as honest as they come.
Live, you can expect to hear songs from his upcoming release, Dad Country, which was recorded with Taylor Goldsmith, Griffin Goldsmith, Tay Straithairn and Wylie Gelber, along with Spencer Cullum Jr. and Joshua Hedley.
