Jonah Knight is a singer/songfighter focusing on songs about being haunted. Ghosts and monsters, angels and demons, empty places and empty people.
In early 2010 he had an actual moment of clarity.
He was playing at a songwriter showcase and started chatting with another s/sw. It turned out that they were describing themselves almost exactly the same. Midwestern aesthetic, wide open spaces, travel stories, character studies. Musically they didn’t sound a thing alike but the descriptions were true.
While mulling it over, it occurred to him that although he had been a fan of scifi/fantasy/horror stuff almost all his life, he had never written any music in those genres. Knight was about to begin recording his second album, Ghosts Don’t Disappear, and quickly switched a couple songs to create a more overt theme.
His third album, The Exploration of Dangerous Places, is a collection of haunted songs written after reconnecting with the supernatural.
