42. Jonny Fritz
Jonny Fritz is a man of many talents. In addition to being one of my personal favorite artists at the forefront of 21st century country music, he is a father, leatherworker, and according to his business card, “LA’s Premiere Used House Salesman.” He grew up in Virginia, lived in Philly later in life, and then moved to Nashville where he get his country music career going releasing a pair of albums under the moniker Jonny Corndawg. He has since moved to Los Angeles, where he works in real estate, and has reverted to his given name to release the albums “Dad Country” and “Sweet Creep.” Our correspondent and friend of the show Henry Barnes (Amps For Christ) recorded this interview with Jonny earlier this year. They are discussing their respective experiences in craftsmanship, songwriting, southern California geography, Huell Howser, Jonny’s cuisine-centric expeditions to India, and much more on this installment.
