About Me

“nashville based singer/songwriter jon yeager hold nothing back-vocally, lyrically or instrumentally-on his new ep "jon yeager and the black magic mass". its only 4 tracks, but after a couple of listens you wont be able to get these tunes out of your head-in a good way. the first two songs clearly pay homage to '50s and '60s rock n' roll with catchy refrains, upbeat rythyms and driving bass lines, plus a healthy dose of hors and tambourines, to boot. the EP draws to a close with "low yellow moon", an anthemic ballad that builds a reverb-heavy, fully orchestrated reverie listeners wont want to awaken from.”
by Beth Walker, in performing songwriter

"...an assuredly talented singer-songwriter with a pop aficionado's taste for simply felt words and slightly off-center, low-key melodies that sound classic and wholly original at the same time..."

"...he creates a mix of electric and acoustic rock, adult-pop and alt-folk that's smart, melodic and catchy......"

"Extremely Highly Recommended"
