ALTERNATIVE ICON JONAH MATRANGA HALFWAY TO A HUNDRED IN 2019
Reaching a new apex in his near three-decade career as a celebrated singer, songwriter, producer, post-hardcore pioneer, and voice of Far, New End Original, and onelinedrawing, Jonah Matranga has welcomed fans worldwide to participate in the curation of his forthcoming Halfway To A Hundred release.
For his latest innovative Kickstarter project, longtime listeners and new converts will help the trailblazing musician choose 25 songs from his storied catalog to be re-recorded. As if that’s not enough, Jonah will also release 25 new songs. The project runs until his 50th birthday on August 11.
In true D.I.Y. fashion, the project activates a diehard fan community worldwide, and also serves as the launching pad for a new website boasting a library of rare, live, and unreleased content complete with lyrics, chords, and tabs.
Be on the lookout for dates across the United States, Europe, and Australia as well as more surprises that have been 50 years in the making…
