From The Desk Of Jonny Fritz: Bagby Hot Springs

JonnyFritzLogoJonny Fritz‘s sardonic, clever country rock has just landed him a record deal—signed in gravy at a local soul-food restaurant, natch—and his ATO Records debut, Dad Country, featuring backing from the boys in Dawes, has just hit shelves. He’s also trying to finish up paintings and leatherwork for a list of clients that reads like a who’s-who of the Music City hipsterati. Oh, and he got married to a woman he met at Mardi Gras. “I like to make the impulsive moves,” says Fritz, who used to go by the moniker Jonny Corndawg. Fritz will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new feature on him.

Jonny: This is one of my favorite tour spots is about an hour east of Portland, Ore., snuggled deep into Mount Hood. The drive is about an hour, and then the hike is about a mile. I’m sure locals will say it sucks and you should go somewhere more rugged or off the beaten path, but that’s because Bagby has a parking lot and is maintained by the national parks. A great tour stop.
