The Artist: Jonah Tolchin, a 21-year-old indie artist based in Maine.
The Song: “21st Century Girl,” the first single from Tolchin’s upcoming album, due in July from Yep Roc.
Fun Fact:  Jonah can be heard on the recent Jason Molina tribute album.  His upcoming debut includes guest appearances from John McCauley from Deer Tick and Willie Nelson’s harmonica player Mickey Raphael.
Songwriter Says: “21st Century Girl is the only song I’ve ever written on the piano. . . It came to me at Dirt Floor Studio in Chester, Connecticut,” says Tolchin. “For me, this song is about waking up out of the monotony of everyday life, and becoming aware of the present moment. In the current age of humankind, these gaps of presence do not happen often enough.”
