For the first in our ongoing Local Artist Showcase episodes, we have southern Illinois folk singer-songwriter Jonah McGuire. Jonah talks with Burke Wasson about the Harrisburg school band program leading him to develop his songs, which he is also kind enough to pick apart in a very engaging talk. At 21 years old, Jonah is just getting started. His latest EP, Honey I Don’t Love You, can be heard on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, and other streaming platforms. Jonah is scheduled to play next on Friday, March 14, at The Little Nashville Cafe in Marion, Illinois. For all things Jonah, follow him @jonahmcguire on Instagram and @jonahmcguire on YouTube.
