Jonathan Byrd is a preacher's son, a Gulf War veteran, and a Kerrville New Folk award winner from seven 
generations of North Carolinians. A Jonathan Byrd show is musical theater, bringing together the Texas 
songwriting tradition with southern storytelling and hot guitar picking in the line of North Carolina greats Doc 
Watson and Tony Rice. A stalwart of modern folk music, Byrd has released five solo albums with a surprising 
variety of musical directions, and an acoustic collaboration with fellow songwriter Diana Jones. "One of the top 
50 songwriters of the past 50 years." -Chicago Tribune. www.jonathanbyrd.com
