Cited as a key influence by Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes) and Beck, Omaha, Nebraska native and singer/songwriter Simon Joyner has been putting out delicate, intimate, mournful songs since the early '90s. Despite his status as a respected and influential performer, and his collaborations with members of Wilco, Lambchop, the Dirty Three, and other commercially successful artists, Joyner has remained staunchly independent, working without managers, booking agents, or publicists for the entirety of his career. His focus on songcraft first resulted in a steady run of brilliant albums, with frequent highlights such as 2012's sprawling and heavy double album Ghosts, the insular reflections of 2019's Pocket Moon, and 2022's Songs from a Stolen Guitar, which ruminated on themes of isolation and memory. 2024 album Coyote Butterfly was made up of songs of love and grief that came to Joyner after the death of his son.
