New album, “Turned Around”

Out 16 September, 2025

I am thrilled to share my latest album, “Turned Around”, comes out on September 16, 2025. This record marks yet another step forward in my ongoing pursuit of better arrangements, better songs, and better records. My fifth album in as many years, this one features a bit more bombast at times while still seeking quiet moments in between. To assist in this, Ryan Jewell returns on drums for four tracks. He also mixed and mastered the album. Mike Horn (Seawind of Battery) brings his shimmering guitar work to one song, and Mike Gorman (The City of Light) joins from Tyler, Texas with mandolin and vocals on another. The rest is me and the results, I hope you’ll agree, are sound.

You can Pre-order “Turned Around” today on CD or Digital download via Bandcamp as well as on Ampwall. Other streaming services… coming soon.

About

“rowjimmy” is J. M. Hart: Songwriter, Podcaster, Music Fan, & Family Man.

A life-long Virginian, he lives with with wife and children a comfortable distance away from both Richmond and Washington, D.C. yet within striking distance should a worthwhile concert make the calendar. His primary vice is collecting records; a habit he picked up in 1990. There appears to be no cure.

Jonathan has been writing songs for decades, mostly keeping to himself but, in recent years, he’s shared a couple with Colorado-based band, The Jauntee and, as of September, 2020, he’s begun releasing songs via Bandcamp. You can find his work at jmhart.bandcamp.com.

He can be found discussing The Grateful Dead and other tenuously related music as the host & producer of The Brokedown Podcast.

Twitter Mastodon , BlueSky, and Instagram are all great places to try and keep up with the latest happenings. YouTube is also a good spot to find videos from shows he’s attended.

The blog is less active these days but you can access the latest posts here.

Additionally, he has written for Phish.net.

When he’s not doing all of that or spending time with his wife & children, he’s writing songs or listening to records.
