Philly’s Eliza Hardy Jones and Greg Jehanian have been tight for years, going back to their time sharing the stage in West Philly art-pop outfit Buried Beds.

Jones has also performed with hard touring outfits Strand of Oaks and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, whole Jehanian was the longtime bassist for post-hardcore faves mewithoutYou until about a year ago. This Saturday, the two old friends will team up once again for a co-headlining show at Boot And Saddle — Jones performs material from her 2016 solo debut Because Become, while Jehanian’s band Geology digs into this spring’s Healers.

Take yourself on a dreamy ride with Geology’s record Healers

Philadelphia lo-fi folk outfit Geology quietly released their album Healers this past spring. Fronted by the former bassist of Philly art-punk group mewithoutYou, Greg Jehanian called Healers a work in progress upon its initial release, and promised that more music would soon be added to the LP. On October 18th that promise was fulfilled: three new songs were added to the album — “[Refracted Light],” “The Smallest Fire” and “Who Among You?” — and that this final product is available for free download via Bandcamp.

Geology / via facebook.com/pages/Geology/138175876219824

mewithoutYou bassist Greg Jehanian recently stopped by Studio 435 in Downingtown for episode 3 of the new video series “Live at 435.” Playing under the name of his solo project Geology with only a guitar and vocals, his performance was perfect for the new video project’s lo-fi, low-key sound.

Listen to “The Neighboring Sea,” the latest single from Geology

You might recognize the above Star Wars-reading fellow as Greg Jehenian, the convivial bassist we met in two of our Key Studio VIDEO Sessions: mewithoutYou‘s and Buried Beds‘. When he’s not busy with either of those acts, Jehenian also makes thoughtful, home-spun indie rock under the name Geology, and just last week released his latest EP, The Neighboring Sea. You can stream the percussive title track below, download the entire thing at Bandcamp, and keep tabs on Geology’s Facebook page for news of one of Jehenian’s irregularly scheduled live appearances.

Tonight’s Concert Pick: Geology at Kung Fu Necktie

Geology is the side project of Greg Jehanian, bassist for Philly group mewithoutYou. This indie-folk venture finds him exploring softer (yet not simpler territory). He layers slightly twangy guitar, banjo, and gentle lyrics to create a sound that comforts. It’s reminiscent of Wilco, whom he incidentally graciously covered on his July 2010 EP, Three Birds. Also appearing at tonight’s bill will be Utah indie-folk band Desert Noises and Philly-based brother/sister electro-synth-pop duo She Came Crashing. Geology performs with Desert Noises and She Came Crashing at Kung Fu Necktie at 8 p.m.; tickets to the 21+ show are $5.

Philly Local Philes: Geology’s “Living Things”

When he’s not playing bass with hard-touring philosopunks mewithoutYou, Greg Jehanian indulges his dust-bowl rock leanings in Geology. The project’s recent EP, Three Birds, leads listeners on a tour of rustic American sounds with a fervent modern pulse; banjos and beats, textures reminiscent of early Sufjan Stevens, and a solid cover of Wilco’s “One By One.” Check out “Living Things” below, and catch one of Geology’s irregular appearances at Johnny Brenda’s on Wednesday, October 13th, with Ducarriganigan and Mitch Fiction.

Every Monday and Thursday at 2 p.m., Y-Rock On XPN’s John Vettese spotlights the best musicians from the Delaware Valley in the Philly Local Philes. You can listen to Y-Rock On XPN’s live online stream here.

Load-In to Load-Out With Eliza Hardy Jones: A photo essay by Jeremy Zimmerman | 1

As the sun sets and the wind whips up, the band is at the Boot bright and early — 5:00 pm — gathering in all the gear from their different cars. Drummer Pat Berkery (of The War On Drugs, CYHSY) is parked out front and the band members assist him with his massive drum boxes.

Teen Men’s Nick Krill is also setting up his guitar rig:

Boot & Saddle house sound engineer Steve Poponi arrives, and greets Eliza and company with a special gift — the “Frances Quinlan Special,” a vocal effects pedal that he created for Hop Along, whom he also tour manages. Poponi and Jones spend quite some time setting up the pedal and dialing it in on Jones’ already impressive array of modifiers.

Opening act Geology arrives!

Load-In to Load-Out With Eliza Hardy Jones: A photo essay by Jeremy Zimmerman | 3

Geology gets the cold crowd warmed with the organic space-rock sounds from the mind of Greg Jehanian:

And finally, the moment we’d all been waiting for — Eliza and her band take to the stage.

After the heart-melting rendition of “We Belong” that had the whole crowd chiming in, Jones invites her Father on stage in a tender, impromptu singalong of a folk spiritual:

After a round of hugs, the crowd dissipates into the bar and off into the night, the bands pack up their gear without much ado and then do the same. The smile on Jones face is evidence enough that the night was good. More than good. Meaningful. The common thread of music that’s wound its way through so many different times and places and projects is finally making its way home.
