About Me

Heartfelt, vibrant, and clear Jon Wilkins blends thoughtful lyrics and powerful acoustic presence. This lifelong performer and Massachusetts native has been dreaming up songs for as long as he can remember. A seasoned live artist and true lover of music, Wilkins recorded with his first band in high-school. By the time he was 20, the multi-talented musician was a regular on the Boston live circuit.During a late night drive to Long Island during college, Wilkins discovered his songwriting abilities. Working with a 4-track recorder, his debut solo album Still Searching was born. The lyrics center on ideas of "searching for love, where we belong and guessing at the answers about what's heading towards us in life". This thoughtful, well-crafted approach to songwriting has earned a devoted local fan base and impressive independent sales.Jon Wilkins continues to light up the northern music scene. Described as acoustic pop with a country twist, Wilkins is prolific in the studio and on the stage as he strives to create "relatable, easy listening" that challenges his audience to think and feel. This soulful storyteller is excited to see where his musical journey will take him and hopes to inspire others. He says, "If I had a message, it would be we are all on the same earth and, for the most part, shoveling through the same stuff. We're all in this together".
