Bluegrass-influenced band Jackstraw has been a Portland staple for more than 15 years. With a new album Sunday Never Comes released at the end of 2011, I sat down with Jon Neufeld, who plays lead guitar in the band.
We talked about the beginnings of the band, the new album, and Jon’s musical background and other projects.
Listen to a full track from Sunday Never Comes in this episode – Come On Back To Me, the first song on the album. You’ll also hear clips of If I Die and Dark and Empty, also from the new album.
Also on this episode:
– Jon talks about his side projects, including his work with Dolorean, Kung Pao Chicken, and Black Prairie.
– We discuss Bluegrass music in Portland and beyond.
– Jon reveals Jackstraw’s plans for 2012 and tells a great story from the road in 2011.
