The Jolenes
Los Angeles, CA
Smile! It’s the Jolenes!
The Jolenes is a mega volt supercluster quartet of roots rock rascals who hail from Los Angeles, California by way of Auburn; Outer Space; stone cold Kansas City; the Miracle Mile; the Earth’s nickel plated nuclear rated chewy nougat core; the West of Adams; the East of Eden; the LBC, an as of yet to be discovered fifth dimension commonly referred to by leading scientists and religious philosophers as Jomagnalene…and all parts in between.
Constructed of popsicle sticks, painter’s tape, chicken wire and Dan Janisch (Dan Janisch and The Sallys), Grant Langston (Grant Langstons and The Grill Masters), David Serby (David Serby and The Hillbilly Fringe), and Dale Daniel (The Hacienda Brothers, Rick Shea and The Losin’ End, etc, etc., etc.), they are a fully insured and bonded, AAA graded, golden throated, songwriting, crime solving, guitar bashing and drum busting investment collective who will happily help you cheat on your taxes. Together and separately they have played on, penned, recorded, and registered thousands of carols, poems, rockers, mockers, oldies, hymns, canticles, chants, rants, lullabies, ballads, three sea shanties, and five-eights of an Italian opera based on the classic Burt Reynolds western from 1973, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing.
The Jolenes are deadly serious song and dance men, handsome in their own way, shameless, blameless, and they are dying to give you a good time. You can find them struggling not to drown in all of your favorite social media streams. In their spare time they like to crochet cowboy booties for abandoned beagles, lead book groups for retired snake charmers, and study the text of ancient Chinese fortune cookies.
Don’t forget to smile! It’s the Jolenes!
