I’m a fan from the first Cassette Tape!! Lol
I was attached since Bonafide and kept up with Jon up till now. I was happy to actually meet him back 10 years in Connecticut at one of his shows. I had mentioned how excellent his rendition of “Everybody Here Wants You” was. Jeff Buckley would be honored!!
I was so happy to be able to catch his show in ATL this Friday (the 7PM show). He started from way back with hits like “Simple Melody” on through to his latest two singles, “Understand” and “Priceless”. The crowd loved his remixes of his own music as well as touches of classic soul songs as an undercurrent to his soulful lyrics. He was personable and made several comments of how appreciative he was that his fan base has continued to hang with him for “20+ years”!
Most important to note is the difference in his voice. He obviously has matured physically, but in the best possible way. He’s maintained his beautiful falsetto, but it’s not the main event of his singing anymore. He can hit those highs as well as settle into some beautiful lows all while belting it out over the amps and drums. Similar to a fine vintage wine, his voice blends together quite nicely i think!!
Not to be forgotten were his band (a duo playing bass and drums) who seemed to know all his songs as well as him! They had their own swag but kept things tight. That made me smile because it seemed like everyone on stage thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Growing up, I had a girl band and hung around with my brother’s band. I just loved chilling, enjoying music and playing music for hours. Jon B’s Atlanta City Winery show felt like nostalgic good old times. Like an up scale jam session in a sense. I think this is because he is his music and you can’t help but be cool and relax and enjoy a show by a musical genius!
