Proceeds from “If You Harden On The Inside,” the new single from Hezekiah Jones, will benefit the Women’s Law Project. Paced by the bump of bass and snap of snare, the song delicately weaves, led by sunny stretches that counter the potential commentary of lines like the power play/greed of “What’s the point of having all the world? When your hands are so small” or the call to kindness of “If you harden on the inside, you’ll be easy to break.” While it may seem simple to get swept up in the recent reign of negativity, “If You Harden On The Inside,” with its inviting harmony and delicate sway, reminds us that the power of positivity remains.

The musical troupe of Hezekiah Jones, led by Raph Cutrufello, has released a new collection of tunes. The EP Har! Har! Har! is partitioned into three tracks, “Yeshe & Horus,” “Between a Sea & a Soft Place,” and “Sylvia North”. The triad of songs is saturated in the seductive lure of vocal harmonies, while a wandering synth lingers in the background. It’s inherently inviting as it teeters in a mystical realm. There will also be five extra covers hidden on the band's upcoming CD release. Hezekiah Jones is scheduled to join Mason Porter and The End of America on Saturday, December 10 at Ardmore Music Hall.

Rejoice this evening as the Raph Cutrufello-led musical troupe known as Hezekiah Jones celebrates their new record. In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw (available via Woodfarm Records) captures inborn, folk-pop warmth that hits your core, with sun-kissed familial harmonies and taut strings, strolling in time percussion. These ear-grabbing narratives offer a timeless approach - comfortably loose yet masterfully constructed, traditional yet not time worn. Joining in on the joy tonight at Ardmore Music Hall with a late night dance party is the boisterous Balkan blast, otherwise known as the West Philadelphia Orchestra, and the sweeping enchantments of Lauryn Peacock.
