其他信息

07年绝对值得一听的声音！

Jon McLaughlin的音乐属于那种即使停止以后也会久绕你心田的回味.简单来说,对于他的表演技艺只能用"特别","唯一"来形容.同时,他对音乐的结合以及那不经意间的交流都会让极大部分的观众感到亲切.

作为在印第安纳安德森的一个年轻的钢琴手,jon每天都将大量的时间投入音乐上---所说所想用歌词和旋律来表达.不幸的是,他的两只手腕在一次事故中粉碎性骨折后,钢琴的弹奏不得不从他生活的主流退出.直到他高中的高年级时,当他再一次的坐了下来,他才又重新找回对艺术的热情. jon的歌曲写作能力是在他被安德森音乐学院录用以后才算真的成形.

在那里,不知他花了多少时间来为这第一张专辑打下坚实的基础. 因为他那受了专业训练的耳朵,还有Ben Folds 和 Billy Joel对他的影响,Jon McLaughlin形成了他所特有的钢琴摇滚风格,并创造出了一种让听众兴奋,覆盖整个舞台的独有声效.

这张自我命名的首张专辑具有强势的音乐背景,开场就是Some Tight Fix的funk-rock(乡村摇滚),然后再到Blue Skies的轻柔jazz,Once Again中像冰美人般的优雅,Loving Me中的简单古典piano(钢琴),结束时又回到专辑中的第一支单曲,Throwing A Line狂欢时刻的piano-roll(钢琴摇滚).

这张专辑,jon从自己的视角像听众讲述了人生中的起起伏伏,不得不让你也期望你的人生也能像这音乐般美好.他用那汹涌般表述心声的歌词和代给耳朵的愉悦,唤醒了独立音乐界,并对piano-rock(钢琴摇滚)赋予了新的内涵

Jon McLaughlin (born September 27, 1982) is a pop/rock singer-songwriter and pianist from Anderson, Indiana. His debut album Indiana was released on May 1, 2007, preceded by his first EP Industry, also known as Jon McL, in February 2007. McLaughlin returned in 2008 with “Beating My Heart.” The new single is part of his sophomore album entitled OK Now.

Early 2000s

Playing piano since early childhood, Jon McLaughlin grew up in Anderson, Indiana. He didn’t want to take piano lessons anymore and was always finding ways to get out of doing so. While attending Highland High School, McLaughlin shattered both wrists in an accident that interrupted his musical expression. Rediscovering “his muse,” McLaughlin attended Anderson University to study music.[1] He released an independent album entitled, “Up Until Now” in 2003. This quickly led to McLaughlin becoming the first artist to sign on with the school’s burgeoning, if not local, record label, Orangehaus Records. The self-titled album released in 2004 to local and regional praise. He began touring, traveling throughout the Midwest and working up a grassroots following.

Mid-2000s

In 2005 Jon McLaughlin recorded an 8-song EP, Songs I Wrote and Later Recorded, which reached the #1 spot on AwareStore.com. Touring expanded to across the country as support continued to grow for the independent artist. He also increased his fan base by playing at Timber Wolf Lake, a Young Life camp, with his first album entitled Jon McLaughlin.
