Louisiana Roots Rock Storyteller Boogie Long Finds His Voice

Louisiana has a way of turning musicians into storytellers, and Jonathon Boogie Long grew up right inside that tradition. Raised around gospel services and family rooms where guitars doubled as pulpits, Long learned early how a melody can hold a room. That lineage runs straight through ‘Courage In The Chaos’, out now via Myrical Media, an album shaped by Baton Rouge blues tone, gospel phrasing, and the loose but deliberate pacing that defines South Louisiana music.

The lead single “A Fool Can See” distills that heritage into a groove built on feel rather than flash, with a guitar line that answers the vocal like a knowing second voice. Some songs arrived recently, others waited years for their moment, and that patience shows. ‘Courage In The Chaos’ plays like a well-worn recipe passed down and refined, grounded in lived experience and delivered with the quiet confidence of someone who knows exactly where they come from.
