SUMMARY:Mother Country presents The Sign of Jonas
LOCATION:Hugh's Room
DESCRIPTION:Mother Country presents The Sign of Jonas in the Green Sanders
 on Hall at Hugh's Room\, 296 Broadview Avenue\nShow at 8pm\, Doors at 7pm$
 25+ in advance\, $32+at the door\nMother Country is here to chronicle the 
 eternal journey home.\nTheir songs carry the grit of Southern folk\, the s
 weep of Americana\, and the reflective depth of someone who’s lived a th
 ousand miles of road. The sound pulls from a wide range of roots: the stor
 ytelling of The Band\, the cinematic scope of Iron & Wine\, the explorator
 y edge of cosmic country.\nThe band is founded by Benton Roark\, whose son
 gs have been described as “backwoods-choir elegance” (The Georgia Stra
 ight) and “an experience of deep and darkling beauty” (The Austin Chro
 nicle). Since leaving his hometown of Atlanta\, GA (where early efforts du
 bbed him “a crafty folk-experimentalist\,” Creative Loafing)\, Roark h
 as called Ohio\, NYC\, Vancouver\, St. John’s\, Newfoundland\, and Toron
 to home. He’s been a bandleader for a number of groups\, the last of whi
 ch was Rollaway\, whose last two records - Modern Epic and The Return of t
 he Lonesome Coyote Patchwork Pulpit (“tone poems in the style of My Morn
 ing Jacket\,” Maverick Magazine) set the scene for Mother Country’s in
 ception.\nTaking up the Americana and Southern gothic mantle\, and weaving
  it with the distinct threads of old time\, bluegrass\, and trad folk musi
 c\, as well as the visionary poetry of Maritimes poet Luke Hathaway\, Moth
 er Country set out in late 2024 with its debut record\, The Sign of Jonas 
 (Milltown Records). An apocalypse folk-tale and concept album\, the Jonas 
 song cycle has been presented by English Harbour Arts\, 10C Guelph\, Cambe
 r Arts\, Bannerman Brewing\, and Halifax Central Library\, and spent a num
 ber of weeks in the top ten Earshot radio charts in its first few months o
 f existence. Thursday September 24.\n\nBoletos: https://www.showpass.com/m
