Jones Street Station is a Brooklyn-based band consisting of mandolinist/singer Danny Erker, harmonica player/singer Jonathan Hull, keyboardist/singer Jonathan Benedict, bassist/singer Walt Wells, and drummer Vin Scialla.
Their blend of Americana, country-folk, and harmonies reminiscent of the Old Time style remind me of bands like Wilco and The Avett Brothers but with more rock. Add to that sad-but-poppy songs like “Evergreen,” and you’ve got a band unique unto itself. Jones Street Station offer listeners a wide range of musical influences, reaching out to fans of everything from bluegrass to pop.
