Jon Langston

Bio

Georgia native Jon Langston has always had a love for music of all kinds, but has not always pursued a career in the music industry. Even though he had a band in 8th grade with a few hometown buddies, it was nothing more than just a fun hobby for Langston at the time. The band which included long time friend, Josh Manuel, who co-produced Langston’s first two EP’s back in 2013 at Century Studios in Atlanta. Manuel is currently the drummer for the band “Issues.” Instead, Langston set his sights on playing football in high school and earned a Division I scholarship to play at Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina in 2009. It was his junior year of college when he picked the guitar up again. “I suffered multiple concussions, and so the coaches, doctors and myself decided the best for my health was to hang up the pads,” Langston says. “It was hard but I knew it was the right thing to do. I didn’t know what God had planned for my life at the time.” Langston began to learn how to play the guitar again and began to write his own songs and posting them on YouTube. “It is crazy how God closes one door and opens another. I had no idea what was ahead of me with the whole music world.”

Since then Langston has shown a passion and love for country music, and his unique voice and songwriting have sparked a wildfire fan base across the country. Selling out shows across the southeast, including the huge accomplishment at the Georgia Theatre on Nov. 7, 2015, dreams are starting to come true for Langston. “To be given the opportunity to not only play on that stage, but to headline the theatre, where I’ve seen many acts perform such as: Luke Bryan, Brantley Gilbert, and Corey Smith, who are guys I look up to, it was an honor and a night I will never forget.”

Langston, now a Music City resident in Nashville, TN, has created his own style and sound from a variety of influences. Growing up listening to everything from Alan Jackson to the Eagles, Langston has crafted a fresh, new country music sound that is ready for take off.

Critical acclaim for REBEL:

“one of contemporary music’s freshest new voices, regardless of genre.”

– People.com

“Anne Wilson is a genre-blender in the truest, most artistically satisfying meaning of the word.”

– Holler

“The 16-song project hits the bullseye between contemporary Christian and Country twang”

– Grammy.com

“sonically and thematically, the album stitches together the threads tying Country and Christian music”

– Billboard

“set to become a cherished addition to the libraries of fans of both genres”

– MusicRow

“A fresh-faced, 22-year-old country music ingenue sings about Jesus Christ with folk-aimed soul and countrified pop passion akin to the shouting required to knock down the Walls of Jericho in the Old Testament’s Book of Joshua.”

– The Tennessean

“REBEL is a tribute, not only to her ability to write songs, but tackle a variety of topics and different styles of music.”

– Forbes

Last Friday, tickets for Wilson’s 28-stop headlining The REBEL Tour went on sale and are going fast, already selling over 50% of tickets four months before it kicks off on Sept. 12, 2024. The coast-to-coast tour will stop in major markets across the country with special guest Jordan Rowe, including Wilson headlining Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium for the very first time on Sept. 25, 2024. Tickets are available now at www.annewilsonofficial.com.

Wilson recently notched the No.1 spot at Christian radio during REBEL’s street week with her empowering anthem “Strong,” marking Wilson’s third career No.1. The single, co-written by Wilson, Jeff Pardo and Matthew West, has already garnered over 35M global streams to date. She also recently became the only female artist to have three No. 1 singles across the Mediabase Christian AC and Mediabase Christian Audience charts since she first launched on the scene with “My Jesus” in 2021.

LISTEN: REBEL

Earlier this month, Wilson commemorated the groundbreaking release with a performance of the title-track “REBEL” on The 3rd Hour of TODAY. Combining much-needed encouragement, vulnerability and transparency into a perfect balance that footholds the space between the dead-end road paved in dirt and the church pew of redemption on Sunday morning, the record, produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith, emerges as a powerful message of faith. Highlighted on the album is fan-favorite “Songs About Whiskey,” accompanied by an all-new music video, that finds Wilson unashamedly walking the line of her strong faith and Country roots. Collaborations with some of Christian and Country music’s biggest names bolster the record, enlisting reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson for “Praying Woman,” GRAMMY-Award winner Chris Tomlin for “The Cross” and Country superstar Jordan Davis for “Country Gold.”

Last month, Wilson landed her first CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year for “Rain In The Rearview.” Despite only being three years into her career, Wilson has already won a Billboard Music Award, multiple DOVE and K-LOVE Fan Awards and received nominations for prestigious honors from the GRAMMYs and American Music Awards. Recognized as Apple Music’s Country Riser for April, an artist to watch by Spotify, Pandora, the Grand Ole Opry, CMT and more, and over 900M career streams, Wilson’s trajectory knows no bounds.

As Wilson prepares to take the stage for The REBEL Tour, she will grace the stages of both Country and Christian music’s most sought-after festivals this summer. Stay up to date with Wilson at www.annewilsonofficial.com and keep up with her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Anne Wilson (REBEL song) OC: …fitting in. :28
“Ever since I started making music, I felt like a little bit of an outsider. My sound is inspired by my Kentucky roots and my lyrics are inspired by my spiritual roots. So, I’ve just decided I’m going to be unapologetic about my sound and just as unapologetic about my message. My faith is the most important part of my life. I hope this song will be an anthem for others to stand out in a world so obsessed with fitting in.”

TRAVIS DENNING RELEASES NEW TRACK “ADD HER TO THE LIST” OFF HIS UPCOMING DEBUT ALBUM ROADS THAT GO NOWHERE COMING MAY 24th.

Travis Denning

Travis Denning is gearing up to release his debut album, Roads That Go Nowhere, on May 24, but today he released a new track off the forthcoming album, “Add Her To The List.” Produced by Paul DiGiovanni and Jeremy Stover, the song is written by DiGiovanni, Stover and Bobby Pinson. It is one of the 15 tracks on the project that also includes features by HARDY and Josh Ross.

“Add Her To The List” features a feather soft, atmospheric rock foundation and tells the story of someone who lives in a world of deep regret – racked with guilt over decisions they instantly wish they could take back. Says Denning, “I think it goes back to the Roads That Go Nowhere theme. It’s easy to look back and go, ‘That was a dead end, that one worked out, I got stuck in traffic on that one and I drove 100 miles an hour down that one.’ This song is almost totally parallel to that theme.”

Travis has tour dates through the fall. This spring and summer, he will support HARDY on his Quit!! tour.

ROADS THAT GO NOWHERE Track List:

Why I’m Drinking (Josh Kerr, Jon Nite, Cole Taylor)
I Know How It Sounds (Travis Denning, Will Bundy, Chase McGill)
