I first heard Jon’s music in 2015, and became a bigger fan throughout the years. I got to see him on tour in July of 2019 at the Armory in Minnesota. During this time, my dad was dying of cancer. I was 22, and I was terrified. I didn’t know how to live in a world without my dad. During that summer, we found out more about my dad’s upbringing than ever before, giving us more of an idea of why he was the way he was. I remember so vividly hearing Stupid Deep and thinking of him. He just wanted to be loved by his parents and he never really was. When Jon played it at the concert… I lost it. I bawled my eyes out. I can’t listen to that song without thinking of that time.
I saw Jon two days before my dad finally passed away.
Jon’s music helped me grieve my dad. It helped me believe in a higher faith. It drew me back to church, to God.
Jon, if you ever read this, thank you. I’m so grateful for your music. It means so much to me.
