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.

George Strait – Three Drinks Behind (AUDIO): “Here’s a song called Three Drinks Behind. It was written by Benjamin Gaither, Jeff Silvey, and Kim Williams. This song was sent to me years ago. Had to be 10 years ago, maybe more. Totally different demo, totally different vibe. The song is great. I loved it then. In fact, I still have it on a CD somewhere. And it was a good song then. It’s an even better song now. It’s a totally new arrangement, but I think you’ll like it. Three Drinks Behind.”

George Strait – Cowboys and Dreamers (AUDIO): “Here’s a song written by Jesse Joe Dillon, Keith Gaddis, and my son Bubba Strait. It’s called Cowboys and Dreamers, and it’s a really cool song. So cool that I thought that I should name the whole album after it. And you know, sometimes I feel like the last of a dying breed trying to find where I fit. That pretty much says it all. Cowboys and Dreamers.”

George Strait – “To The Moon” (AUDIO): “This next song was written by Marty Brown and Steve Clark. One of my producers, Tony Brown, sent it to me. And man, I just loved it. After that, we were getting songs and kind of measuring them up to how they would stack up against this song. But it’s a love song and it’s called To The Moon.”

George Strait “Wish I Could Say” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song that was written by my old friend, Mr. Keith Gaddis, who he lost last year, unfortunately. We miss him a lot. It’s a good old country song, just like he always wrote. That man was amazing. And anyway, this is my band on it also, the O Ways and the Whole band. And it’s a great country song, like I said, it’s called Wish I Could Say.”

George Strait – “Calling From The Car” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song written by the great Bobby Braddock. It’s called, Calling From the Car. And it’s a good old country cheating song for sure. But man, is it clever and I love it.”

George Strait – “People Get Hurt Sometimes” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song written by one of my favorite songwriters, Jim Lauderdale, along with Kendall Marble and Jimmy Ritchie. It’s a beautiful song. We put some strings on it and it just really made it pretty. It’s called People Get Hurt Sometimes.”

George Strait – “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song that my friend Chris Stapleton wrote, along with Jameson Clark and Timothy James. It’s a good old honky tonker, I mean a good one. And Chris was kind enough to sing it with me on the record. And so it was fun, we had a great time doing it. And it’s called Honky Tonk Hall of Fame.”

George Strait – “The Little Things” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song that I wrote with Monte Criswell and my son Bubba Strait. It’s a beautiful song, I just love it. It’s called The Little Things, and that’s kind of what it’s about, is don’t miss the little things.”

George Strait: “Waymore’s Blues” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song that was written by one of my heroes, one of our heroes, Mr. Waylon Jennings, and also Curtis Buck. We’ve been doing this song, me and the band, for quite a few years on stage live, and we’ve been doing it a little bit different though than Waylon did it, and I just love it this way because it features my band a lot, and those boys are pretty good. So I hope you like it and next time you come see us we’re going to play it for you. Waymore’s Blues.”

George Strait – “The Journey Of Your Life” (AUDIO): “Here’s a song called The Journey of Your Life written by Ronnie Bowman and Troy Jones. And I gotta tell you, first time I heard it, I got all teared up because it, you know, it’s about granddad passing away and being right there still with your grandkids, helping them on the journey of their lives, which I hope I can do.”
