Jake Lenderman lives in Asheville, North Carolina. He plays guitar in the indie band Wednesday and creates his own music as MJ Lenderman. His latest solo release with Dear Life Records is titled Boat Songs. Lenderman describes the album as his most 'polished' sound to date, built around songs that 'chase fulfillment and happiness''whether that means buying a boat, drinking too much, or watching seeds fall from the bird feeder. Boat Songs is the followup to Lenderman's 2020 label debut, Ghost of Your Guitar Solo, and subsequent release, Knockin', with Dear Life Records, both of which were critically acclaimed for their off-the-cuff alternative country sound. But with Boat Songs, Lenderman emerges confident as ever, an innovative voice impossible to ignore.
