Cindertalk is the stage and studio name of multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Jonathan "Jonny" Rodgers, and the ever-changing group of musicians who join him for performances and recordings.

The term "cindertalk" refers to the sound of live coals hidden in the ashes of the early morning fires he lights each day to warm his Oregon cottage.

Jonny's formative musical years were spent writing, touring and recording with his brother Steve Rodgers in the indie band Mighty Purple.

Literature and art run in Jonny's family including novelists and authors like his grandfather Joseph Chilton Pearce and great-uncle Richard Yates.

[14][15] For Record Store Day 2014, Cindertalk will be releasing a limited edition 7" vinyl called Spero which will help support Love146 and their efforts to end child trafficking and modern slavery.
