Simon Joyner is a man with roots in Louisiana and a lifetime in Nebraska, and the singer/songwriter will be releasing his 12th album, Out Into The Snow (on Conor Oberst’s Team Love label, due September 15). The LP’s “Roll On” epitomizes Joyner’s musical persona as an angry ragtime cowboy and a prehistoric monster of folk.

thank you for acknowledging Simon Joyner, one of the most criminally underrated singer/songwriters of the past 20 years. and yes, he’s been making music, out of urgency and love, for basically 20 years. he showed the rest of Omaha, decades ago, how hard work, talent, and determination can translate until successful careers with the right (DIY) ethic and attitude. it’s not about being famous, it’s about making heartfelt, raw and honest music that last forever…
