New album, “Headwaters”
Out 4 September, 2026
I am pleased to announce my sixth album in as many years: Headwaters. Herein is a fresh set of eight songs, crafted in my ever evolving (improving?) process of home studio woodshedding & recording, and pushing at the seams of my previous work. We’ve got your folk sounds in here. We’ve also got some of that psychedelic pop, spaced out drones, AOR Rock, and some hefty blurring of any and all of these lines. I’m just making records that should be RECORDS, you know? The kind that I might buy in a heartbeat if they already existed.
Click through here for the full announcement.
The album is available both digitally and on Compact Disc via Bandcamp, AmpWall, & Subvert with pre-order beginning on August 7.

Also, exclusively on Bandcamp, bonus tracks featuring solo, acoustic renditions of each song will be available for download.
Upon the September 4 release, it will also be available for digital DL via Subvert as well as on all major streaming platforms (aside from Spotify).

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 spent seven-plus years discussing The Grateful Dead and other tenuously related (as well as decidedly unrelated) music as the host & producer of The Brokedown Podcast. That show is currently on hiatus as he focuses more on making music.
The name, however, lives on with Brokedown Radio. Found at the online radio station, NQRA, Brokedown Radio features Jonathan spinning all manner of tunes from his record collection for your listening pleasure.

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.
