Hello N1M followers -
I have been writing and preparing to record some new music but wonder often if my sound is outdated given my influences. Who are some of the cool artists and great sounds you are listening to today? I won't be recording any rap or heavy metal, so you can leave those recommendations out. :) What instrumentation appeals to you? I'm looking to you, the listeners, the fans, the music aficionados, to tell me what appeals to you. I would like to do something different that captures my style and yet brings something fresh to the table that could sit in comfort on Spotify, Google Play, YouTube, any of those streaming stations!

Thanks for your feedback!

I would like to send out a Thank You to all of you for listening to my music and sharing it with friends and family and whoever. The song has moved up the ranks and seems to be somewhat popular. I could not do it without your support and appreciation. So, I wanted to let you know how much it means to me. I am working on some new music including a Christmas song, but don't anticipate anything happening until 2022. It's been a very tough year as I lost my Dad, a love and a best friend. But still music is in my heart and soul and I will keep playing until I cannot anymore. thanks for being there and listening!
Sincerely
Jonathan

It's been a long time. How is everyone managing through the COVID mess!? Hope everyone has found some peace and solitude through these times and heard some great music worth sharing!

Thanks for all the listeners out there who continue to send kind messages and encouraging remarks. I have written some new music these past few months. As soon as things ease up a little and I can spend more time with my fellow musicians to start tracking, I hope to get some new music out there!

Thanks again for listening! Peace and God bless!

Many of you have been so very kind and have reached out to express your enjoyment of the music. I can't tell you enough how much that means to me.

I am going to ask a small favor of you now. If the music is moving you to send me the kind notes and thoughts you have shared, perhaps you could share some thoughts as a review on the sites where people are looking to purchase music: ITunes, Amazon, CD Baby...

Here are a few of the links where you can find my music online. I hope you will find more songs in the collection that you enjoy, maybe purchase some music, or if nothing else share with others where you heard the music, the song that gripped you, and why others may be interested in experiencing.

Thank you everyone! The best advertisement is still word of mouth! We just have more tools to help spread the word! I hope you'll help to spread the word! God bless!

Hello everyone
I have a new CD available (finally) which can be purchased through CD Baby digitally or you can order the actual CD. They are working on the digital distribution with all of their partners (Itunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc) so you can watch out for the release there or you can order now from CD Baby at (expired link). There are many talented players on this disc from the area here. I could not have done the CD without their talents.

I hope you will enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making the CD. It's been a long time coming.

Thanks for your love, kindness and support.
Jonathan

ps: Here is one of the tracks off the new CD

Hello friends!
Thank you for your appreciation and interest in my music. I've received several very kind emails from many of you and they are much appreciated. You are the people who keep us working to write more and rehearse more and put out more music! It's a tedious process, for me at least... I rely upon the time and talent of musicians in the area, some friends, some acquaintances, but they all devote their time toward a vision I have for the song.

My third CD is inching ever closer. I had a great session Sunday afternoon, tonight I meet with a singer to go over some backup vocals and later tonight with my great friend and guitar player, Craig Counts (who you'll be hearing more of on this CD), we'll be tracking guitar on one of the new songs "So Much Love.' Thursday, I have the great Vladimir Esponosa putting down his great Latin percussion on some songs and Melissa Mesko will join Brittany Sparks for some beautiful harmonies! It takes a great team effort and willingness and devotion to put schedules and talents and an appreciation toward the final product together. It makes it all the more special when we get feedback from listeners like you. So, I just wanted to express a great big THANK YOU for all of your nice words - hoping to release the CD in the next 2-3 months! Stay tuned!

Greetings everyone!
I am fairly new to to NumberOneMusic so I wanted to just say thanks to everyone for the support and making me feel welcome! I'm working on a 3rd CD which I hope to have finished in the coming months.

I am also trying to find venues for the band to perform and yes, we are certainly interested in international travel. Most importantly though, I'm just glad you are enjoying the music. It makes it all the more worthwhile. Here is another song (with video) that will be coming out on the next CD. Thanks again!
