    Artist description
    "Don't let the man on the screen tell you how it is", sings Boston-based performer Jon Robert, offering a glimpse into his independent spirit. Following in the footsteps of such greats as Edwin McCain and Better Than Ezra, Jon has released his debut CD, an acoustic pop-rock effort entitled "Listen Loud". Twenty-two-year-old Jon, only four years into his music career, has already caught the attention of the industry, and landed some prime gigs, including an opening spot for Howie Day (Epic). Jon started writing and performing at the age of fifteen, when he received his first acoustic guitar, and got a job working in a small Ipswich, Massachusetts, music store. Around a Mother who loved to sing, Jon soon caught the music bug himself, writing and playing original songs that earned him comparisons to the aforementioned McCain, John Mayer, and The Pat McGee Band. "Listen Loud", the 4-song Jon Robert EP, contains an infectious, radio-friendly collection of songs with catchy hooks, memorable vocals, and ample groove. Based on Jon's acoustic rock sound, the CD features full instrumentation and solid production. The independently-released EP was recorded at Q-Division Records in Boston, home to recent hits like James Taylor's "October Road" and "Welcome Interstate Managers" from Fountains of Wayne. Two Wish Records and Jon plan a Fall 2003 East Coast College Tour and appearances at a number of music industry conferences. He is currently promoting the new EP to labels, media and radio.
