Our good friend Dan Black – British, ‘wonky pop’ artist best known for his 2009 “Symphonies” collaboration with Kid Cudi – brings his visually and sonically adept act to our high definition soundstage. He’s an incredibly unique and focused performer who makes an impressive mountain of sound out of a very minimal setup.

The same is true, but by a much different approach, for our other featured artist this week – The Gaslight Anthem. Typically best heard and seen at max volume, Gaslight unplugs for an intimate interpretation of their 2008 breakthrough “The ’59 Sound” and 2010’s critically
acclaimed “American Slang.” Vocalist Brian Fallon is such a tactful songwriter that it’s almost an entirely new set of chills you’ll get from these JBTV exclusive stripped down versions of songs
you already know.

Host Ryan Manno goes on location for an up-close interview with NYC-based, indie rockers Interpol. Manno sits down with drummer Sam Fogarino and guitarist Daniel Kessler in the band’s Ritz-Carlton penthouse to discuss the band’s recent personnel changes, their new self-
titled album and, of course, how they manage to always look so damn fashionable.

Host Jenna Martinelli visits with Murder by Death in the JBTV studio. Supporting the release of “Good Morning, Magpie,” the band from Bloomington, Indiana discusses the unconventional making of the new record – they wanted to create something that captured what life is like
at home, so they made the album in a barn while sitting around, drinking whiskey with their friends. “That’s what we do,” explained singer Adam Turla, moments before he serenaded Jenna with a little Johnny Cash.

Host Toby Jeg takes JBTV viewers inside the opening of Heather Gabel’s “Wild Card Art Show” at Chicago’s Johalla Projects Gallery. Gabel (wife of Against Me! Singer, Tom Gabel) offers some incredible images and insight behind the concept of the show, which is a series of pieces based on the Tarot card, the 21 cards of the Major Arcana.

And our namesake, Jerry Bryant, unearths some of his classic JBTV studio footage with Green Day (when Billie Jo had pink hair) and Smashing Pumpkins (when Billy had hair). This is never- before-seen, must-see footage of the bands letting loose with Jerry!
