Out now: 'Songs From The Elkhorn Trail,' the solo debut from Jim Lindberg of Pennywise

Songs From The Elkhorn Trail, the solo acoustic debut from Jim Lindberg, is out now on all digital platforms. The album will be available on CD/vinyl May 6.

Lindberg's music video for the previously released single, “You’re Not Alone,” directed by Rob “Whitey” McConnaughy (Superchunk), stars actor/comedian John Ennis (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Zodiac, Mr. Show with Bob and David). Check it out here.

Most known for his role as songwriter and lead singer of punk rock band Pennywise, Jim Lindberg has been making skate punk anthems since the 1990s. Musically, he’s influenced by an array of genres from early Hermosa Beach melodic hardcore to the PMA influenced sounds of Minor Threat, 7 Seconds, and Dag Nasty. Lyrically, Lindberg has often taken inspiration from transcendental philosophers to produce songs about self-reliance, individualism and scathing indictments of political hypocrisy and corruption.

On Songs From The Elkhorn Trail, Lindberg takes a much more introspective turn. With many of the songs being over 25 years in the making, the album is a look at Lindberg’s life story. His late father who passed away in 2018 of Alzheimer’s Disease is a huge inspiration for the record, having encouraged him in many aspects of his life; from buying him his first guitar to supporting him quitting his job and going on tour with Pennywise.

Produced and mixed by Tedd Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Lucero, Dropkick Murphy’s), the album features David Hidalgo Jr. (Social Distortion) on drums, Joe Gittleman (The Mighty, Mighty BossToneS, Avoid One Thing) on bass, and Marc Orrell (The Dropkick Murphy’s, The Walker Roaders) on guitar.
