These three ladies are world class in every way. Pumped this tune is out in the world. Got to write it a while back with @trousdalemusic & the equally legendary @iamstephjones Brilliant production by Trousdale and @johnmarknelson Love to everyone involved, thank you to my brilliant publisher @reservoirmedia@donnacaseine for piecing us altogether ❤️
“So What?” By the bloody brilliant Blair Davie, out today. So pumped to have gotten to write this with Blair and our dear mate, Derrick Southerland. A lovely full circle moment too that Blair’s team includes his manager, the wonderful Natasha of @motherartistsltd who was so kind and supportive to me back in the day when I was giving my own stuff a go! As well as his publishers the legends Caroline and Mark @second_songs .
Bloody brilliant production by @eddholloway as ever and a banging mix as ever by @markspikestent Mastered by @doctormidrange
Thank you to everyone involved and such a great video too, bursting with energy, hope and love @henrycroston@cameveritt@jacquelyntepper
Go on Blair ❤️
“To Love Somebody” by the bloody brilliant @hollyhumberstone is out today. Thank you to Holly and legend @blobmilton for having me join your magic world, I’m so grateful and proud to be part of this song and the upcoming album alongside you both and many other close mates.
This world, as the album title tells us, can be a cruel one and a tough place but whenever I blast the crap out of this it brings some joy and some hope. It still makes me feel like we’ve just written it- very rarely does a song end up sounding, feeling and indeed looking like how you hope and imagine it just might. This one does, so thank you to @blobmilton and to @markspikestent for making that so.
Special thanks to @sethtacks & also to Nashville crew, @battletapes Ian Fitchuk and @estesbass for their help and love on this too. Shout out to @silkenweinberg for the stunning visuals. Thank you to @sangingintherain@radiusmusicltd for getting me in the room and no doubt to @benjaminfrancisleftwich@paulmcd61 for putting in a good word for me over the years too x
Go on Holly, go get ‘em ❤️
After minimal, possibly non-existent streaming, next to no interest and zero demand, we’ve decided to say thank you with a surprise drop. “Kerosene Crush” is all yours, don’t share it and 100% don’t tell anyone. Happy Thanksgiving, the Atlantic High Five x
MT Jones and I both graduated from @lipaliverpool@paulmccartney school…admittedly about 20 years apart from one another, but still. MT, Mikey, is the real deal and such a bloody great bloke. Very proud to be part of this song with you mate, out today.
Written in Nashville, Tennessee. Finished up and recorded with strings beautifully by @jonathan.quarmby@rakstudios in St. John’s Wood, London and perhaps carved initially in the cobbles along Pilgrim and Hope Street of Liverpool, L1.
All in time for Macca to play Nashville this week too. Big love to Carly at Candelion for hooking us all up X
Go get ‘em @mtjonesmusic ❤️
Congratulations to the legend that is Sam Ryder on album release day. Sam is a bloody brilliant bloke, singer, artist and basically a beam of light.
Got to spend some wonderful times here in Tennessee chipping away at tunes and am very proud to be part of this record alongside so many great mates too.
Thank you & congrats too to @mikkyekko@mikeelizondojr@thisisrudey@wrabel@trentdabbs
Special mention and thanks to @jarradk_allday for his permanent and above & beyond support always in helping me get these songs where they need to be.

This brand new EP from the world class, Brett Eldredge is out today. Something different, nostalgic and hopefully full of hope.
I got to hang with Brett and the brilliant Heather Morgan at our house and write & produce these songs a little while back. It was then the first project I got to throw myself into after our dear Dad passed away and getting to dive into this music, Brett’s unreal voice and Jordan Lehning’s incredible string arrangements was a real gift that I will be eternally grateful for.
Thank you to legend Jeremy Ferguson for helping me as ever with mixing, to dear pal Jarrad K for vital additional work, to Emre Ramazanoglu for mastering and to all the string & brass players
Thank you also to John Peets and Randi Tolbert @qprimesouth and my brilliant manager Mark for making it all happen.
Light a fire, kick up some leaves, pour yourself a glass of something. Love and peace to one and all X
Nine years ago now I got to write this with my boys @rustonkelly & @jarradk_allday hanging on Jarrad’s front porch. A lot of life has happened since then but I’ve always cherished that day. I’m so pumped this tune is out in the world and to be part of Ruston’s journey, he’s the real bloody deal.
As ever, brilliantly produced by Jarrad and just world class musicianship across this and the whole album by @_johnchong@calknowles@jnslrzno and of course @timkellytk
Love to one and all ❤️
“The Feeling Never Went Away”, out today. @samhairwolfryder is a world class artist and an even better human being. Proud to be part of his next chapter and for this tune to be out in the world. Written with Sam and the brilliant @mikkyekko
Produced alongside @matt_zara and wonderfully assisted and engineered by @jarradk_allday here in Nashville at the fast becoming iconic, Chateau Noir. Thank you also to dear mate @madsaboutsound for some last min help back in London x
Brilliant mix and care by @ryanhewittmix
Thank you @nickburgess__ and @artisttheorymusic
Sam, love to you and Lois- you’re both bloody legends x

Out now, “Lonestar Lovers” EP from @bretteldredge x I’ve had the privilege this past year or so to get to work with Brett. He is a world class singer, song writer and world class human being. Alongside the brilliant and kind @heathereleven we’ve gotten to create a collection of songs that I’m truly so proud of.
“Lonestar Lovers” is the last song I’m a part of that I got to play for my dear Dad before he passed away whilst we were on one of our ocean drives in South Africa and I will always hold onto that memory.
With Brett’s truly unreal, day of writing, one take vocal- it speaks to and I hope sounds like what I grew up imagining & hoping America to be- full of hope, romance and the great unknown.
Thank you Brett for having me along for the ride, I’m excited for all the tunes coming soon and congrats to all the other writers and co-creators.
Special thank you to @jordanlehning for his string arrangement magic as ever and to the brilliant players @quentin_flowers@austin.jitterbug.hoke@betsygoblue@kristinfidd@alicia_enstrom@zneil@jdkummer Thank you also to Jeremy @battletapes for you work on this and helping me as ever
Special mention also to the legend that is @lauraveltz and thank you to her for introducing me to Brett a little while back.
All my love, Jon ❤️
