    Biography

    Jon Latham moved to Nashville on Memorial Day 2013. Upon arriving he fell ill, only to find himself in a three-day coma in the ICU, fighting blood clots in his lungs. Brushing so close to his mortality in a foreign city had an effect on Jon after his recovery. He channeled this groundswell of emotions into his first batch of solo songs, which he began playing at Nashville open mics and writers rounds. His honest delivery and wholehearted appreciation for the audience won him respect! and admiration within the local music community, particularly in East Nashville. With the help of! local engineer and co-producer Josh Morris, he released his first record, Real Bad News in the! fall of 2015. Playing most of the instrumentation himself, Jon's debut album was met with! glowing reviews and even landed in the Bitter Southerner's Top 25 Southern Albums of 2015 and top 10 new artists to know in Rolling Stone, for 2017. As time progressed he found himself sharing the stage with friends and colleagues such as! Aaron Lee Tasjan, Glossary, Todd Snider, Elizabeth Cook on the Grand Ole Opry, Brian Wright , Great Peacock, John Doe, Dan Baird and Kevn Kinney/Drivin’ n Cryin’. Jon released his latest album, Lifers, on Cafe Rooster Records.
