Joonny Fritz is a man of many talents. In addition to being one of my personal favorite artists at the forefront of 21st century country music, he is a father, leatherworker, and according to his business card, “LA's Premiere Used House Salesman.” He grew up in Vermont, lived in Philly later in life, and then moved to Nashville where he get his country music career going releasing a pair of albums under the moniker Jonny Corndawg. He has since moved to Los Angeles, where he works in real estate, and has reverted to his given name to release the albums “Dad Country” and “Sweet Creep.” Our correspondent and friend of the show Henry Barnes (Amps For Christ) recorded this interview with Jonny earlier this year. They are discussing their respective experiences in craftsmanship, songwriting, southern California geography, Huell Howser, Jonny's cuisine-centric expeditions to India, and much more on this installment.Jonny Fritz is a marketplace at www.jonnyfritz.com, go buy some music, merch or a used house!Illustration for this episode by Taylor W Rushing. @taylorwrushing taylorwrushing.com Low Profile receives in-kind support from San Francisco St Bakery in Olympia Wa.Support this show by visiting patreon.com/lowprofileKeep up with the show on social media @lowpropodast The website is lowprofilepodcast.comEnd TransmissionRelated links:You can find music and merchandise from Jonny Fritz at jonnyfritz.com.Anybody wanna buy a house?
Three L.A. comedians are quarantined in a podcast studio during a global pandemic. There is literally nothing to be done EXCEPT make content. These are "The Corona Diaries" and this is Episode 146. Music at the end is "Ain't it Your Birthday" by Jonny Fritz.
After a remembrance of the late Justin Townes Earle, we hear from this multi-talented songwriter from Los Angeles by way of Virginia.
Billy Bayne is a group creative director at GSD&M. By quarantine, he's a musician who's hellbent on honing his guitar playing skills. He turned his online guitar lessons into a live-streaming Instagram show with some of his favorite artists and bands. People like Ken Bethea of the Old 97s and Jonny Fritz. Not only that, but he's also used that platform to raise money for charities like Equal Justice Alliance. Check out Teach That Guy A Lesson on his Instagram at @Bayne16thState.
Most musicians can readily tell you about their influences, but the best musicians can tell you who it was that influenced their influences; they're always going a step farther back in time and they know full well that all of us here in the current age are standing on the shoulders of the shoulders of giants. The genre of classic rock casts a long shadow, and six decades on from Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and Elvis Presley, teenagers of the new millennium are just as apt to want a turntable and a laptop as an electric guitar, but many songs from the heyday of rock and roll have found a second life in video games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, as well as in beer commercials. Eli Wulfmeier grew up in Michigan, but he sounds like an apple that fell directly off the Allman Brothers' tree. On guitar, Wulfmeier's trick bag is full of tried and true rock and roll licks and he executes them with a smooth flair and tasteful approach that can at times lean toward the incendiary. Vocally, he shows an affinity for the amped up blue-eyed soul of the best legacy rock singers. After spending the last decade in California, honing his guitar chops by playing with the likes of Shelby Lynne, Joe Purdy, Leslie Stevens and Jonny Fritz, Wulfmeier has formed a new trio of his own to allow him to showcase his considerable talents as a songwriter, guitarist and singer. That trio, called Leroy From the North, has a style that is not quite jam band territory, but the three-piece format does allow him the flexibility to improvise and change arrangements on the fly. Wulfmeier hews close enough to the elemental building blocks of rock that his songs, singing and guitar playing sound comfortably familiar, and he's got enough talent in his approach that it still sounds fresh.

Americana singer/songwriter and manufacturer of fine leather goods Jonny Fritz lets me into his LA workshop to discuss his strange relationship with Lucinda Williams 2007 album ‘West', a record that is (mostly) one of his favorites. Jonny talks about why there are some songs on the album he can't listen to, Lucinda's sporadic release reschedule, the “new-agey” production style of the album and we stage ‘Are You Alright' as a radio play. We also delve into his disillusion with “parasitic culturalists” aka the “Air BnB people” in Nashville, and why it made him abandon Music City for LA.

Ellis also reveals how playing Katy Perry songs at weddings helps him as a performer, what it's like collaborating via text message, and the story behind Traveller, his latest side project with Jonny Fritz and Cory Chisel. robertellismusic.com drypaintsigns.com
The Juno Awards celebration is coming to Winnipeg, and it’s right around the corner, so we’re feeling the excitement and looking forward to some of the magic on today’s show. We’ve also got some great new music, a great new discovery, and memories of the 2 night CD release party for Del Barber’s Prairieography!

During SXSW 2012, one of my favorite conversations was with a gentleman that now goes by the name Jonny Fritz (who, we decided during our chat, is what you might call an inlaw goodass). When I found out that he would be back this year, I had to sit down with him again and talk about things that've changed in the intervening months.
Jake sits with Country Music Superstar Jonny Fritz for a candid discussion about the road, touring on a motorcycle, keeping a band together, Room #305 at the Holiday Inn, and the sweet sweet smell of leather.
With a name like Jonny Corndawg, you can guess that this week's podcast guest is going to be a unique one. And Mr. Corndawg does not disappoint. He's a quirky singer-songwriter influenced by artists such as Roger Miller, Michael Hurley and Jerry Reed. In this 20-minute interview, Corndawg walks us through his career as a musician and explains some of his stranger hobbies, including hand-tooling the leather that adorns his Telecaster and his hilarious attempt to bootleg his own album in India. He also tells us about the Givson (no, that's not a typo) archtop that he's currently touring with. All-told, it's one of the more humorous FJ podcasts and one of our favorite up-and-coming artists.
