91.3 WYEP Presents J.S. Ondara W/ The Montvales

Every artist's path is a silent uprising. For some, there arrives a turning point when Robert Zimmerman becomes Bob Dylan, when Reginald Dwight becomes Elton John, when David Robert Jones becomes David Bowie, when Ali Ibrahim becomes Ali Farkathis is an instant when such a creator abandons the safety of established history to seek limitless expressiona moment when they metaphorically depart their home, stepping into the unknown and yielding to the wild hold of their muse. This phase of my path reflects that same transformation. My new group, The Jet Stone Conspiracy, represents the completion of my rebirthit is a surrender to the tides of free expressionan invitation to explore fresh territories of sound, motion, and verse. The initial task for this new chapter is to come visit you with my band and present the songs from Tales of America, Tales of Isolation, and Spanish Villager No:3 all brought to life for the first time in a full-band arrangement. This will be my first tour with a groupan invitation to experience with you the music that has guided us here, in an expanded and dynamic form, and to hear the new material I am developing for the upcoming debut release of The Jet Stone Conspiracy.
