JTMF TV Is Here And We're Starting Close to Home ⭐

We launched something new  and our first guests couldn't be more fitting.

JTMF TV Presents is our new interview and live session series featuring the artists playing Joshua Tree Music Festival this May. No big production. No talking points. Just musicians, their instruments, and the Hi-Desert as a backdrop.

For our first episode, we sat down with Morongo Robinson, the indie project of songwriters Ty French and Amanda Davis, rooted right here in the Joshua Tree community. Their sound is exactly what you'd expect from two people shaped by this land: haunted melodies, unexpected rhythms, and a genre-bending energy that echoes the Mojave itself.

We talked about where the project came from, what it means to perform music in the community you call home, and what to expect when they take the JTMF stage this May.Plus, they picked up their instruments and played.

Watch the full session on YouTube now.
