Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines: First of Many Tour

Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines bring their Americana storytelling to Brick and Mortar Music Hall, delivering a set rooted in themes of survival and reinvention. The project, inspired by the endurance of the Roman Empire’s legacy, sees Jonas blending intimate lyricism with high-energy performance. Drawing from influences like Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, the band’s sound mixes traditional roots instrumentation with modern synthesizer twists—creating a lively, unique atmosphere.

Songs like *Village Liquors* and *Road Soda* balance nostalgia and introspection, while *Break the Levee* showcases a joyous contemporary bluegrass energy. Having supported acts such as The Jonas Brothers and The Maine, Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines continue to build momentum with their headlining First of Many Tour, leading into the release of a debut album later this year.
