Jon Mclaughlin!
I apologize, for this post has been long overdue. Firstly, all of the credit of this post goes to Phil Bowdle, as he is the one who first introduced me to Jon. Think of it as a pyramid scheme, in which there are many false apexes. Anyone who heard about Jon from me, or Coleman, or probably a dozen other people by now, really heard about him from Phil. So it often goes, unfortunately, with the original visionary going unnoticed, unheralded, and unsung. However, I willingly break from this sad tradition. In any case...
If you think you haven't heard Jon Mclaughlin, you haven't been to VI in the past month or so. For a while there, he was all Phil played before VI started. I just got home from his concert about an hour ago, and let me tell you, the man can Sing. He can Play. He can Perform. This piano driven pop rock is straight from the soul, and Jon's entire body language and intensity of vocals let you know that he is passionate about his work, and let me tell you, his work is good. You can check him out at his website.
Now I realize that my music-related blogs are generally about unknown artists that I'm trying to bring to light. Jon may not be the artist that no one knows about, but the level of quality of his music more that allows for me to blog about him guilt-free. I implore you, if you have not heard Jon Mclaughlin, go now. Listen.

After all, we're only human.

OKAY, so when I first say Jon Mclaughlin as your blog title, i FLIPPED. I absolutely adore his music. My favorite song being Industry. I listen to it at minimum 3 times a day. I love hearing the piano and his voice..and ahh its sensational. Your right coleman introduced me to him...haha. Hope the concert was good!
(btw this is probably the longeset comment i have ever posted, ever :D)
Ahhhhh, I love him. And Katie showed me Industry, and I'm basically a complete sucker for awesome piano, so I pretty much love this song. I also like Human and Beautfiul Disaster. Ok, I'm rambling. Stopping now.
I feel excited that I actually know an artist that you posted about. Yay me.
