Outpost volunteers will be collecting items for the Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair, New Jersey at the Jonatha Brooke show on March 13th: new or like-new blankets, sheets, and towels; diapers and wipes; pet food; spring-cleaning supplies; any non-perishable food that has not passed its expiration date- thank you!
Jonatha Brooke first appeared at the Outpost with Jennifer Kimball as The Story in 1991. She' s written songs, made records and toured since her days in Boston with The Story, which released two albums, Grace in Gravity and The Angel in the House, on Elektra Records. In 1995, Jonatha released her first of two solo albums on MCA/Universal, Plumb, followed by Ten Cent Wings in 1997. In 1999 she started her own independent label, Bad Dog, and has since released six more albums. Her 2008 release, The Works, combined previously unheard, unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics with her own music and arrangements. Recently, she's co-written songs with Katy Perry and The Courtyard Hounds for their current releases. Jonatha's also written for three Disney films, various television shows, and composed the theme song for Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.
Now, after three years off the road, Jonatha returns with a new show including songs from her 2014 one-woman play, "My Mother Has 4 Noses," a moving mother-daughter love story about caring for her mother in the last years of her life. Jonatha will perform songs from the new cd as well as from her extensive catolg of original music.
