Honor Farm

About Me

Right outside Jay Tonne's hometown of Pueblo, Colorado, stood an abandoned honor farm, a low-security prison for inmates who had demonstrated good behavior. The old burned-out buildings offered the perfect sanctuary for teenagers looking for trouble and freedom, so the honor farm became a prime destination for weekend parties and Halloween mischeif. You can hear the same longing for fun and escape in the music of Honor farm, Tonne's newest musical project.
