Boom Years

Our Story

After a decade of keeping rhythm for an assortment of acts, Southern California musician Jona Wilder ventured into unknown territory. Taking up new instruments, challenges and wild ideas found him on a course which ultimately led to Boom Years. Recording alone, he founds time when he could, escaping to a paint filled garage on nights, weekends and early mornings to get down the music he’d always wanted to make, a mix of Rodriguez and 70’s era Dylan, city and country, Stetson and leather. These influences brought an affinity for engaging, vivid lyrics, from cults to addicts, to personal identity. Words responding to a world filled with revelations and change. He continues to record and write new material, inviting his ideas to come in, take a seat and make themselves at home.
