Author: Markly Morrison August 6, 2021 Duration: 46:16
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.Jonny Fritz is a marketplace at www.jonnyfritz.com, go buy some music, merch or a used house!Illustration for this episode by Taylor W Rushing.  @taylorwrushing taylorwrushing.com Low Profile receives in-kind support from San Francisco St Bakery in Olympia Wa.Support this show by visiting patreon.com/lowprofileKeep up with the show on social media @lowpropodast The website is lowprofilepodcast.comEnd TransmissionRelated links:You can find music and merchandise from Jonny Fritz at jonnyfritz.com.Anybody wanna buy a house?

There’s a whole world of essential music made by people who never became household names. Low Profile with Markly Morrison seeks out those artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures, blending their stories with the music they created. Host Markly Morrison, an audio journalist and musician based in Olympia, Washington, approaches these conversations as oral history-less about fame and more about the craft, the context, and the often overlooked contributions that shaped sounds we love. You’ll hear intimate, detailed interviews that pull back the curtain on influential work, paired with the tracks that define these careers. The show originates as a radio program on KAOS 89.3 FM but finds its enduring home as a podcast distributed by Ruinous Media, allowing these deep-dive stories to be savored anytime. Each episode is a chance to discover not just new music, but the rich human experiences behind it, focusing on the genuine artistry that exists far from the glare of the mainstream spotlight. This podcast is for anyone who believes the most compelling stories in music are often the ones you haven’t heard yet.
