SXSW 2026: Jonny Fritz

Playing Paste on Sunday.  He's also playing White Horse on Friday night with quite a lineup (including Boomershack.).  We'll be at Nude Party.

Per Wikipedia:

Jonathan Russell Fritz, formerly known as Jonny Corndawg, is an American alternative country musician who was born in Missoula, Montana. He has released four albums, two under the name "Jonny Corndawg" and two as "Jonny Fritz".

I'm pretty sure he's been on bills at festivals we've attended. I seem to recall him playing with Deer Tick or one of their side-projects.  You may remember better. I don't have him on my list of bands seen, though.

According to Wikipedia, for his 4th record:

 Jonnys' 4th record Sweet Creep was released in 2016. Produced by Jim James and recorded over three days using a makeshift outdoor studio in the Montecito Hills of California. The entire record was recorded outside and featured Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes (band), playing multiple instruments, including guitar, bass, and keyboard, his brother Griffin Goldsmith on drums, Joshua Hedley of fiddle and My Morning Jacket's prolific front man Jim James also lending his voice, and guitar to multiple tracks.

Lots of big names on there.  His 5th album just came out, 10 years after his last.

"Slow Down" is good. That's Joshua Hedley on violin (We saw him at Robert's in Nashville).

"Debbie Downers" is timely:

This is a cool live performance.
