Singer-songwriter Jon Nolan has announced his new album, Slow Cooker, to be released on September 19, 2025, via Strolling Bones Records. For the album, the New Hampshire native recorded during relaxed jam sessions which took place in his hometown of Newmarket. Along with the announcement, Nolan has shared the lead single “On My Own.“

During the summer of 2022, Nolan, who fronts the alternative country band Say ZuZu, experienced a surge of inspiration, so he launched a new music project “just for fun.” At first, he holed up in the attic of a friend’s barn with collaborators Geoff Taylor (bass) and Rick Habib (drums). Though they were eventually kicked out for being too loud, they added Zack Tremblay (guitar), cementing the lineup for Jon Nolan & Good Co.

By Fall, The Stone Church Music Club in Newmarket agreed to allow Jon access to its upstairs living room. On the first Sunday of each month, he would host the Slow Cooker Sessions in this space. Soon Jon Nolan & Good Co. cut what would become Slow Cooker over the course of four sessions. Jon Nolan and Geoff Taylor co-Produced the record.

Jon Nolan says:

Slow Cooker is more than just an album. It’s evidence of a new season of creative meaning for me. Each song is a story from my life or my imagination that sort of became a series of little fires that the band gathered around one by one to stoke, feed, and tend to. We want people to come join us and warm themselves by these stories—on the record or at our shows.
