Jonny Stanback, the former lead singer of indie rock band THE JACKS, has embarked on an exciting solo career with the release of his single “Intertwined,” marking a new chapter in his musical journey. Known for his emotive voice and dynamic presence as a band frontman, Stanback now explores a more introspective sound, blending folk and Americana influences to create a deeply personal yet universal listening experience.
“Intertwined” is a heartfelt acoustic pop track that delves into the complexities of long-distance relationships. Drawing inspiration from his own life, Stanback reflects on the emotional connection that endures despite physical distance. The song’s delicate acoustic guitar melodies, gentle drum patterns, and subtle electric accents build to a climactic yet restrained final chorus, mirroring the nuanced emotional landscape of the song’s theme. Stanback explains that he wrote the song during a period of separation from his partner, capturing a special moment in time: “Even though we were more than 6,000 miles apart, we still felt connected almost invisibly, and I thought that was sweet."
The track is a preview of his debut solo album BRONCO II, which explores themes of hope, love, letting go, isolation, and adventure. Each song reflects Stanback’s growth as an artist, showcasing his ability to craft emotionally resonant music that feels both intimate and expansive. Beyond his musical evolution, Stanback is also taking on an ambitious challenge for 2024: the “Hail Mary Hundred,” a creative endeavour in which he aims to release 100 songs in the year. His commitment to his craft and his ability to channel personal experiences into his music is evident in the authenticity of “Intertwined.”
Stanback’s transition from band frontman to solo artist marks the beginning of a new era, one that feels both refreshing and meaningful. “Intertwined” offers a beautiful introduction to his solo artistry, blending folk, indie rock, and Americana with storytelling that speaks to the heart. With BRONCO II already earning acclaim, Stanback’s creative journey is just beginning, and with a year of prolific songwriting ahead, his future in music is undoubtedly bright.
