We are thrilled to welcome Jonatha Brooke back to the Rubin Museum of Art. Jonatha has written folk/pop songs, made records and toured world-wide for over three decades. During her early years in Boston she released two albums on Elektra Records with band The Story, Grace in Gravity and The Angel in the House. In 1995, Jonatha released her first of two solo albums on MCA/Universal, Plumb, followed by Ten Cent Wings in 1997. In 1999 she started her own independent label, Bad Dog, and has since released six more albums. Her 2008 release, The Works, combined previously unheard, unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics with her own music and arrangements. Recently, she’s co-written songs with Katy Perry and The Courtyard Hounds for their current releases. Jonatha’s also written for three Disney films, various television shows, and composed the theme song for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. In 2014, Jonatha debuted her one-woman play, My Mother Has 4 Noses, a moving mother-daughter love story about caring for her mother in the last years of her life. 4-Noses played for 10 weeks at The Duke Theater on 42nd Street to rave reviews.
