Jonathan Byrd is a preachers kid, Gulf War veteran, and award-winning songwriter with twenty-five years of touring and over a dozen albums. Byrd's simple, working-class songs have become campfire favorites and have been covered by artists such as Sam Bush and Tim O'Brien. A Jonathan Byrd show takes audiences from hell-raising sing-alongs to heart-wrenching ballads and back across the backroads of his native North Carolina. * "...one of the top 50 songwriters of the past 50 years." Rich Warren, Chicago Tribune. * "...a folk singer with the heart of a rock 'n roll band." K. Oliver, Free Times
Wes Collins has his dad's name but lacks his business acumen and marketing pinache. Wes Junior started writing songs on a dare in his mid-forties and has been at it ever since singing about the moments that might have a name in another language but generally don't get much air in daylight conversation. * "Every narrator in Jabberwockies reveals thoughts I've had, but would certainly be terrified to express." Jaimee Harris * "Full disclosure: I’ve heard his unfinished songs." Jonathan Byrd
