Jont - One Long Song

"….a tremulously fierce voice….tender-hearted folk pop that veers from ashen melancholy to rousing pop roar - you will hear more from him…….." (The Times)

"I left London for New York in April 2003 after being in various bands, having had different managers and deals fall through. I was going to go to L.A. but I'd fallen in love with a girl who worked behind the bar at a pub in Archway who'd just moved to New York. So, telling myself and my friends that I was going to find a new manager and to set up my night UNLIT in Brooklyn, I went to try to track her down.

'One Long Song' is a taster, an introduction to a larger collection of songs, sparked by that decision to leave. In these six tracks there is birth (of my niece, in 'You can be the Stars'), death (a year ago, of my manager and friend Tony Meilandt in 'Can't Turn the Sea Off'), a break up, loneliness and epiphany.

I'm two years or so into the adventure. I have a flat in L.A. (you see I got there eventually) and UNLIT has become a hybrid of a house-party and a gig, featuring various different invited performers in changing locations around the city most Friday nights. Also I met up with some guys who saw the world the same way and were able to make my music sound like it should, called Keefus, Sam and John, or - Green, Music and Gold.

As the songs says I "keep waiting to record this album full of songs". But this is where I've got to so far. I hope you enjoy it."

Jont is currently in L.A. recording some more songs with Green Music & Gold, playing gigs, and organising Unlit nights. As an artist his uncompromising attitude has been shaped by the fascinating story of his life, involving wondrous events and times of great pain. A testament to this attitude are the beautiful songs on 'One Long Song'.

The song 'Sweetheart', taken from the mini album, is featured on the Original Soundtrack of 'The Wedding Crashers'.

Jont releases 'One Long Song' on 21st November 2005, through Everybody's Records.
