"Jonivan Jones is a musician and performing songwriter with roots in South Texas and Arkansas, blending South Pacific travels, Twang, and Psychedelic sounds with old Folk, Blues, and Cowboy campfire songs. His style fuses Traditional Folk, Early Western, and Delta Blues, creating a unique yet familiar sound that resonates with audiences. With a musical journey that began on a hand-me-down guitar and evolved through years of experimentation, Jonivan's live performances are a rich tapestry of homemade foot drums, dropped C# tunings, and the warm tones of an antiquated reverberated amp. Whether performing solo or in small ensembles under the name "animalsound," his music reflects the raw beauty of life's trials and explorations." Living a transient lifestyle for work from the age of 19, he devoted the years to experimenting with the different sounds and styles encountered along the way. The musical style can also be characterized by its ragged lilts and reverence to DIY spirits. Live performances are a stirred-up framework of genres, creating a unique but familiar sound. Years of songwriting and random live shows amassed a catalog of unique music that is a nod to life’s pact with the wild."
