John Pullman "Jake" Longstreth, Jr. (born February 3, 1977), is an American painter, musician, and internet radio personality. He is currently the co-host of the Beats 1 show, Time Crisis with Ezra Koenig and member of a Grateful Dead cover band, “Richard Pictures”.

Education

Longstreth received his Bachelor of Arts in 1999 from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, and his Master of Fine Arts in 2005 from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, California.[1]

Career

He is a 2008 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.[1] His paintings can be found in the collections at the Crocker Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art Library, and JP Morgan Chase, among others.[2]

Longstreth tends to portray architecture in flat, geometric forms, recalling influences such as Robert Bechtle and David Hockney, finding a place between “documentary” realism and symbolic metaphor, whereas his landscapes are portrayed as more of an improvised realism.[3][4][5] He is represented by the Gregory Lind Gallery.[6]

He makes regular appearances as a co-host and former "West Coast correspondent" on Time Crisis, the Apple Music internet radio show hosted by Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, where he frequently gives in-depth investigative reports on various topics such as the history of the Frito-Lay corporation, PepsiCo, and the NRA.[7] Longstreth is also a guitarist in the Grateful Dead cover band Richard Pictures. In 2016, he made several appearances with Vampire Weekend and Dirty Projectors as a supporting musician during their performances for Bernie Sanders' campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.[8][9] Richard Pictures continued to perform with Vampire Weekend at various live shows such as the 2018 Ojai performance,[10] and opened for the band at several venues for their 2019 Father of the Bride tour.[11] In June 2019, Longstreth released an EP with rock group Mountain Brews[12], and in January 2020 the group released their second EP, Let It Grow.[13] October 9th, 2019 during the 2nd night of their 2 night Red Rocks run, Vampire Weekend covered Longstreth's "Mountain Brews", the title track from the EP of the same name. [14]

Personal life

Longstreth is the older brother of David Longstreth, the lead singer and guitarist of Dirty Projectors.[15][16] He married filmmaker Hannah Fidell on September 23, 2017 in Inverness, California.[17]
