Chris Crofton, Jonny Fritz

Clear-headed, **Chris Crofton** crystallizes the duality of heartache, knowing life marches cruelly on despite personal setbacks, but wants to simmer in the pain just a little longer. UFO hunters — just like those who sit in the silent of aftermath of losing something precious — scan stars, desperate to glimpse a promising, borderline delusional pattern. A robust guitar riff — reminiscent of the same one that opens Guided by Voices' "Hold On Hope" — gently bleeds into sailing sounds of isolation, Crofton crooning, "They're searching the sky / I'm staring at my phone."

A veteran of 15 years as a touring musician. A near perfect blend of country and western, yet impossible to know what to call it or do with it. **Jonny Fritz** calls it Dad Country; a theme park tailor made for dads. That's his genre (so he says) and if that makes sense to you then you ought to have your head checked. The guy does it all. He's the Music Director of a boutique music venue in Sonoma County, CA called Little Saint that has garnered major headlines for their surprise shows featuring the likes of boygenius, Phoebe Bridgers, Rufus Wainwright, Hiss Golden Messenger, Lavender Country and so many more. There’s a special freakiness Fritz brings to whatever he does, it somehow all makes sense once you learn to make sense of it.
