Jon McLaughlin

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Jon McLaughlin
Jon McLaughlin has been playing piano and making music since childhood. He was born and raised in Indiana, and eventually ended up at Anderson University, also in Indiana. With the support of the university's record label, Oranghaus, a few friends and an old Chevy van, McLaughlin wrote and recorded music, and toured extensively throughout his college years before he was signed to Island Records in 2006.

The following eight years had one common denominator for Jon McLaughlin: writing and producing songs, releasing albums, driving around the country playing music with his band and collaborating with fellow artists like Sara Bareilles, Demi Lovato, Xenia and Need to Breathe, among others. He has shared the stage with artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Adele, One Republic, Bon Jovi, Colbie Caillat, Parachute, and Duffy. And, in 2014, a dream came true when Jon supported the legendary piano man himself, Billy Joel, in selected dates across the country. This coming fall, Jon will be touring with fellow Nashville singer songwriter, Ben Rector.

Jon has also made his mark in music for film and television. In 2008, McLaughlin had a cameo appearance in the Disney movie, Enchanted, and performed the Oscar nominated song "So Close," both on the film's soundtrack and at the 80th Academy Awards. Jon's songs have been featured in major films such as Georgia Rule and Bridge to Terabithia. Jon's music has been featured on TV shows such as Scrubs, So You think You Can Dance, Ghost Whisperer, The Event as well as major network promotions. Jon has appeared on talk shows such as The Tonight show with Jay Leno, CBS Saturday Morning, The Today Show, and The Bonnie Hunt Show, among others.


Tess Henley
Last March, soul singer-songwriter Tess Henley caught the ear of multi-Grammy winning producer, Don Was (Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Bonnie Raitt), who described Tess as "a true voice & a strong sense of who she is. When I listened to her perform, I could envision the complete record we would make together. She has a true gift." Was selected Henley from over 10,000 performers as part of Guitar Center's Singer-Songwriter Artist Discovery Program. Recorded at Hollywood's Henson Studios (birthplace of many celebrated projects like Carole King's Tapestry, and Joni Mitchell's Blue), Henley's Wonderland EP credits renowned musicians including James Gadson on drums (Beck, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers), James "Hutch" Hutchinson on bass (Bonnie Raitt, BB King, Al Green), Mark Goldenberg on guitar (Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt), Michito Sanchez on percussion (Train, Aretha Franklin), Mike Finnigan on organ (Jimi Hendrix, Michael McDonald) & string arranger Davide Rossi (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran). Tess began Suzuki training for piano at age three & by age five was dissecting harmonies that even her mother – a singer by trade – found difficult. Henley's songs have won over $100,000 in awards & honors within the past few years
