Set to release his fourth album, Whole World's Gone Mad, And So Have I, JB ventures into new territory, blending sharp social commentary, long narratives with his signature DIY sound. A departure from the gentle tones of Springtime is Coming, this latest work offers a raw, introspective edge. Recorded at his solar-powered cabin in Cedar Creek, the album comes to life with the dynamic contributions of his band throughout the process.
JB Paterson is a roving blue-collar songwriter and producer. Inspired by traditional folk & blues music, appropriating ancient melodies with a strong focus on lyrics performed on guitar and piano. Compared to songwriters Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt and Bob Dylan.
