Jon Wayne And The Pain

About Me


The band is composed of singer/songwriter Jon Wayne, bassist Chuckie "PC" Torgerson and drummer Chris "Ape Shit" Hicks. Based out of Minneapolis, the band pulls from Reggae, Dub, and Ska roots as they spread their message of peace and recovery throughout the Midwest. Jon Wayne and the Pain are an amalgamation of their influences, like anyone in their generation. Their Reggae/Rock/Skateboarder sound is directly influenced by innovators like Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, and Pepper.
Thank You everyone for their contribution to the STAO children! This is everyone who organized and attended the show. All medical and food costs have been covered for two months!!! This is a Blessing and we did this together by the power of God. The next JW Pain mission, is to buy the Orphanage 8 acres of land for self-sustaining practices. Coffee will be grown to be sold and food will be grown for the kids. We have to raise a total of $9,000.00 for the 8 acre plot. If you can help in any way, please contact us! We love you!!!!!!!!!
