Blacklisted In Bougieville 4:32 5. Little Big Shot 3:32 6. Slaughtered By Love 4:41 7. Gimme Some Green 3:11 8. Can I Get a Volunteer 5:21 9. Crazy Good 3:28 10. Out On a Limb 3:37 11. Broken and Blue 5:02 12. Handle Me With Care 5:46 WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Prepare to unwrap and unleash some refreshing musical fun with ADULT ENTERTAINMENT, the new release by Jon Herington. Never taking themselves (or life!) too seriously (except for the serious attention to high musical and production values), Jon and co-writer, co-producer Dennis Espantman have crafted 12 clever songs that go straight to the heart of a wide range of topics that include lightheartedness (Mind Over Matter), the limits of love (No Way No How Not Me), mortality and desire (Doctor’s Orders), the “Ponzi” scheme (Blacklisted In Bougieville), money (Gimme Some Green), loneliness (Can I Get A Volunteer; Broken And Blue), and much more. A kind of adult wisdom is conveyed through the voices of the many amusing unreliable narrators of this enticing collection of catchy, hook-laden tracks. WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE? Presented in musical contexts inspired by the explosion of 1960’s pop/rock music (the stuff Jon grew up on), ADULT ENTERTAINMENT offers echoes of early Beatles, Stones, Motown, Stax, and even hints of country and reggae. The guitar playing covers a wider scope than ever for Jon, and the fun and spirited attitude of the songs is matched by his choice of unexpected sounds and unusual approaches to many of the solos. WHO’S ON IT? A few of the usual suspects appear on this release, including bassist/vocalist Dennis Espantman, drummer/vocalist Frank Pagano, both regular members of Jon’s live band, and keyboardist Jim Beard, Jon’s longtime musical collaborator and Steely Dan bandmate. Stan Harrison (David Bowie; Bruce Springsteen; Mick Jagger; Radiohead) again provided the punch of all of his saxophones and played bass clarinet and flute, and Michael Leonhart (another longtime Steely Dan bandmate) played trumpet and flugelhorn and contribut- ed horn arranging. Dan Levine (Blood, Sweat & Tears; David Byrne; They Might Be Giants; Natalie Merchant) played trombone and euphonium in the horn section, Gordon Titcomb (Paul Simon; Arlo Guthrie; Shawn Colvin) played the pedal steel guitar on Can I Get A Volunteer, and Fred B. Owens (Smokey Joe’s Cafe) added his deep supporting vocals to Gimme Some Green. WHAT’S THE TAKEAWAY? Alongside the catchy, captivating appeal of the music and the shrewd playfulness of the lyrics, the overall emphasis is clear in this sometimes silly, sometimes bawdy, sometimes slyly sentimental, but always thoroughly entertaining collection of songs. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT is a fresh and welcome alterna- tive to the vast majority of popular music being released today. www.JonHerington.com Facebook.com/JonHerington Bookings and Publicity Contact: Susan Johnson 610-504-3332 [email protected] photos: Jon Gorr Jon Herington is a longtime New York city based guitarist, singer/songwriter, producer, and bandleader.

  • Mosquitos – Mexican Dust Release Date: August 18Th 2017
    Mosquitos – Mexican Dust Release Date: August 18th 2017 Mosquitos – singer Juju Stulbach, singer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Root, keyboardist-programmer Jon Marshall Smith -- are musical nomads whose songs occupy a mythical place somewhere between Brooklyn and Brazil. Mexican Dust is the trio’s fourth album, its first after a ten-year hiatus. However, the passage of time hasn’t changed Mosquitos’ sound. It’s always existed in a sweet, special place, somewhere sunny and off the beaten path, with a unique blend of Brazilian influences, American pop smarts and witty, oddball arrangements. Mexican Dust, produced by Michael Leonhart and Mosquitos, is perhaps the most geographically specific of their discs, its wistful songs shaped by the years Stulbach and Root have spent in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. The Brazilian Stulbach and Philadelphia native Root met fifteen years ago on the set of a New York City film shoot, but their relationship developed in Brazil, with the beaches of Rio de Janeiro as a back drop. Root had followed Stulbach there and began to chronicle their courtship in song, cutting rudimentary tracks in a tiny Rio studio. Back in Manhattan, he enlisted programming whiz and producer Smith to help him flesh out the tunes for what would be the trio’s debut disc – and thus a band was serendipitously born. Two albums followed in relatively quick succession, Sunshine Barato and III. Mosquitos’ songs continued to incorporate autobiographical elements drawn from Root’s and Stulbach’s adventures, as they alternated between New York City and Brazil. Stulbach and Root eventually made Mexico their second home.
