Revelation Union started in early 2006 when founding members, guitarist Lonnie Jones and drummer Jason (J Heat) Heathman, got together with Bubba Rai on bass to jam. Lonnie and J Heat had reunited after going separate ways from the defunct 8th Fold. Former vocalist and guitar player Jason DeLaurentis of Hybridity, an experimental hard rock band, answered an ad for a vocalist and an immediate connection was made. Old ideas from Lonnie and J Heat took on a whole new meaning with Jason D’s vocals and writing. The band and Bubba Rai parted ways. Jon Muniz stepped in on bass and stunned everyone with his musicianship. Quickly gaining speed and developing sound, this band is excited and eager to play for the masses. Their sound will breathe new life into an era of music that has been dormant for too long. The vocals are heartfelt and delivered with passion and energy, not to mention a unique talent. The dual guitar work of Jason D and Lonnie is stunning. The bass playing is phenomenal, as Jon is a spectacular guitarist as well as bass player. The music is held together by the energetic and tasteful drumming of J Heat. The overall sound is pure hard rock at it’s finest with excellent musicianship and well written songs about the life and experiences of the band members. Revelation Union is forging their way to becoming a band to be heard. Anyone wanting a refreshing taste of great hard rock should see this band live. The shows are awesome!

By 2001 he picked up the electric guitar and began playing open blues jams with some of Denver’s finest musicians.
