DEBUT RECORD RELEASE JULY 8TH ....THIS SUMMER. "JUST GONNA WAIT" - RECENTLY FEATURED ON MTV'S "THE HILLS" BIOGRAPHY/DETAILS: "Make a dream tomorrow's reality" sings Boston-based singer-songwriter Jon Robert, offering a glimpse into his independent soul. "I think that I write for the day, and make every detail a page in my life." In 1999, JR established his first band Even-Tide. They toured for a year playing the college circuit opening for such acts as Eddie Money and the Fools. At the end of 2000, JR relocated to San Diego California. Performing under the name Jon Robert as a solo acoustic pop act, he began to play the beach scene, coffee houses, clubs, and bars for just under three years. JR's 2003 EP release Listen Loud brought great attention to Boston's local music scene, leading to gigs opening for Howie Day and Matt Nathanson. JR's roots range from Jackson Brown to Matchbox 20. "I like to think of myself as conceptual storyteller, in whatever form the story dictates, not branded as this or that." 2007 was a landmark year for Jon Robert. His EP "Racing the Sun" was a tremendous success licensing the whole record to MTV and was featured on both The Real World and The Gauntlet III. He is also scheduled to be aired on The Hills and Newport Harbor in the second quarter of this year. In July, JR was contacted by teen pop sensation JoJo to open for her on two dates that summer where he played to over 3000 fans. This lead to dates opening for Aly & AJ, Earth Wind & Fire
