All songs written by Jon Pinney. Lyrics by Jon Pinney.
Influences: When I grew up I went through a stage when I could sing just about any song I heard, but I never knew who it was I was listening to. Now I know most of the time, but the fact is that I can't point to a few artists and say that's who influenced me. I've been influenced by the world around me. By the sound of the street on a busy day. The sound of the library when you turn the page. The sound your heart makes when it begins to cry. The silence I felt when you said goodbye. The sound of life as it ticks away. These are my influences.
Sounds Like: A crazy mix of Michael Buble, Gavin DeGraw, The Fray, and John Mayer.

I say it sounds like me.
