“Loaded with personality and a capacity for writing first-rate melodies” – PopMatters
Everything in Jon McLaughlin’s life makes its way into his music, whether he’s conscious of it or not. The artist, raised in Indiana and based in Nashville, brings all of his experiences and beliefs into each song he creates, something that is especially true now that he’s the father of two young girls.
Jon released his debut album, Indiana, in 2007, attracting fans with his heartfelt, hook-laden songwriting and impassioned delivery. He’s released six albums in the years since and revealed a true evolution in both his piano playing and singing. He’s played shows with Billy Joel, Kelly Clarkson and Adele, collaborated with longtime friend Sara Bareilles, co-written with Demi Lovato and even performed at the Academy Awards in 2008.
In the Fall of 2019, Jon released an instrumental piano album titled MOOD. This record demonstrates Jon’s artistry and captivates his talent as a pianist. In May 2020 the second edition of the project was released entitled MOOD II.
Jon wrapped up 2020 with the release of his Christmas EP Christmas Time before putting out his most recent full-length album All the Things I Say To Myself with immediate fan favorites “A Breakup Song” and “Outta My Head”.
In the fall of 2022, Jon hit the road with his band in celebration of the 15th anniversary of his Indiana album which will be remastered and re-released on vinyl spotlighting a new a capella version of the title track “Indiana” as well as never-before-released b-sides.
Towards the end of 2023, Jon released the third installment in his instrumental piano series: MOOD III.
As with everything he does, Jon’s goal is to create connections. He wants to translate his experiences and ideas into music that reaches fans everywhere. His passion for music and playing is evident in each note he plays.
As the guaranteed next-best thing from Indiana that isn’t corn, Chris Peters has been a true visionary in his music scene since 2012. His Indie-Pop songs with catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics were featured on various Spotify playlists, Tik Tok trends, and college radio stations all while also writing and producing for others. Today he is working on his debut album out of his Chicagoland home.
