About Me

Jon Player plays and leads several area and regional bands. Variety, Rock, Funk, Jazz bands and anything in between. From bass guitar work to vocals, he takes care of business. If live music is what you need, Jon has it.

Born and raised in Alabama, Jon grew up surrounded by music. With both parents being musicians, his father a 3rd generation musician, Jon didn't have much choice. Around age 12 He started playing guitar. Shortly there after he started entering and winning local radio talent competitions. In high school he was awarded Alabama all-state Jazz Band first Chair. He studied Music Theory for 2 years at a local campus on a performing Arts Scholarship while simultaneously playing all over the southeast on the weekends. Several years on the road full time have had him sharing the stage with artists like Government Mule, Sister Hazel, Michael W. Smith, Rick Pino, Eddie James, Misty Edwards, The Selah Project, and the late, great Maynard Ferguson. Jon's soulful vocals, polished hands, and strong sense of time make him a formidable presence on the stage or in the studio.And one more thing, Jon is a total Jesus Freak
Wix.comJames Ryle about the Vision of the Sons of Thunder"The Sons of Thunder is a prophetic promise from heaven about a day when an army of worshiping warriors would be released into the streets with an extraordinary anointing upon them in music and evangelism. Men and women who have been hidden with the Lord and marked by the penetrating power of His presence… men and woman who have true grace and gifting in music along with humility and selflessness in sharing Christ... who are fearless in their faith and faithful to the call."Myspace Layouts
