Lemont

LEMONT IS A ROCK & ROLL BAND BORN IN THE VALLEYS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA.

LEMONT is the eclectic band bringing to life a new set of songs by Pennsylvania native Jason McIntyre. Now living in Denver, Colorado, Jason has been a familiar face to the Central Pennsylvania music scene for the past two decades with groups like The Rustlanders, Little Townes, and The Contraband. Alongside Jason stand an impressively talented and sympathetic lineup of musical souls, longtime collaborators, and friends. Guitarist, Junior Tutwiler, and bassist, Corry Drake, from The Rustlanders, vocalist, Kate Twoey, and keyboardist, James Harton from The Contraband, fiddler, Daniel Collins, and the infectious beat of drummer, Kevin Lowe, build the sonic landscape that highlight the lyric sensibilities of McIntyre’s writing.

Lemont is a group inspired by the music of the great Rock and Roll bands of the 1970s, the famed Texas Troubadours, and the great blues legends. Rocking and melodic, thoughtful and witty, reflective and socially conscious Lemont takes listeners on a musical journey through the hills and backroads of central Pennsylvania, transversing the landscape with a sympathy and intrigue for the human complexities that face us all.

Their new self-produced 11-song record —titled Bloomsday and to be officially released in the spring of 2017— is a testament to their craft as writers and performers. Recorded over the past year in Central Pennsylvania, Denver, Colorado, and Hollywood, California, mixed and mastered by the legendary Tom “Bone” Edmonds (Todd Rundgren, Isley Brothers, Lenny Kravitz), the album brings to life a longtime musical journey between friends. Weaving sounds of slide guitar and fiddle, driving rhythms from eras passed, and inspired vocals create a rich tapestry of sound that is uniquely their own— uniquely Lemont.
