About Me

My name is Jonathan Stephens. I am a musician living in Tuscaloosa, AL at the moment. I play in two bands. I play lead guitar for Matt Mackey and I play bass for Maybe Later (Both are on my top friends, please check them out). I have plans to travel the world and play music. I'm currently working on several projects and hope to release my original in a few years.
