While you're waiting for the follow-up to "Further North," check out Jenny Lewis' Acid Tongue, released in September '08.  The record was produced by Lewis, Rice, Farmer Dave Scher and Jason Lader at Sound City Studios.  There's plenty of singing, playing, and general trickery from Johnathan and guests like Zooey Deschanel and the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson....
 

Check out this blistering performance of "Carpetbaggers," a song Johnathan wrote for Jenny Lewis' new album,"Acid Tongue."

Rolling Stone  recently did a story on Johnathan and a group of other artists who are part of the resurgence of the the Laurel Canyon music scene is Los Angeles.  Check out the photos and in depth article written by Jenny Eliscu.

Maria Taylor's van was broken into in San Francisco the other night and almost everything was stolen. Guitars, basses, equipment, suitcases full of clothes and merchandise are all gone.

Tonight is the last night of her six-week tour of the U.S. with Johnathan Rice and Nik Freitas.
Johnathan and Nik have decided that tonight's show should be a benefit to help Maria and her band recoup some of the many thousands of dollars that they lost in this tragedy.

Please, come out and show your support for Maria in her new adopted hometown of LA.
All donations will be given to Maria.

It's been a rough summer for bands out there with gas prices being what they are, and these kids could really use your help.

Not to mention the show is gonna be fuckin' sweet.
Thanks so much.
