Like the unyielding current that propels the mightiest of rivers, the muse flows quite strongly through the music of multifaceted singer/songwriter/guitarist Jonathan Paull Gertler. The artist’s skillset runs deep within the sonic banks of the ten tracks that populate his bold new album, No Fear, which was released on all major digital platforms on September 10, 2021 via Rock Ridge Music. Co-produced by Gertler with his trusted collaborator Jon Chase at Chase Studios in Methuen, Massachusetts, No Fear further benefits from the intuitive collaborative nature of regular Gertler cohorts Sal DiFusco and John Paul on guitars, Joe Santerre on bass, and Jon Chase on percussion — not to mention the occasional, poignant cello accents from Catherine Bent and Bobby Chase, background vocals by Jon and Corinne Chase, and piano courtesy of Doug Johnson.
No Fear
The new album is out now!
“Jonathan Paull Gertler’s music is a gentle nod to the folk singer-songwriters of yesteryear while incorporating roots rock, some jazz phrasings, and splashes of Americana. His lyrics have a depth and breadth that only time, experience, and maturity can bring to the table, and his songs are a breathtaking sonic stroll through life lessons woven among easy-on-the-ears folk-roots instrumentation.”
“Capturing a pure acoustic sound, Gertler has gone for clean guitar tones, supportive instrumentals and clear vocals, aiming at minimum production density and an organic feeling.”
“Jonathan Paull Gertler confronts the world with his sunny acoustic rock on his upcoming album No Fear. On ‘I Wish I Knew,’ ... Gertler tries to build empathy with others, humbly admitting what he does and does not know.”
