The Rise and Fall of American Kitsch

an elvis-inspired exploration of consumerism, commercialism, and plastic pink flamingos

“Simply the title of The Rise and Fall of American Kitsch feels ambitious. But not even this prepares you for what you’ll experience if you approach this album with an open mind, and as a linear work. Karen Jonas has released an exemplar take on the American concept record.” - Saving Country Music

“4.5 stars” - Country Music People Magazine UK

“gloriously whimsical” - Rocking Magpie


grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this dreamy bookstore rendition of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1970 classic “If You Could Read My Mind”

“gorgeously retro and smart as a rattlesnake”

-UK Live Review, Brisol247


The Restless

“A bit wicked, a bit dangerous” Rolling Stone DE

grab a double shot of whiskey and enjoy the mysterious, romantic 2023 album The Restless

“It's a stunning collection of dreamy and dark alt-country confessionals; a deep exploration of love and vulnerability from one of Americana’s most hopeless romantics.” - Holler.Country

“the whole record feels like a very visceral encounter” - Maverick Country, UK

“superbly performed and written soulful vignettes” - The Rocking Magpie (UK)
