American singer/songwriter Jon Athans Project (Jonathan Pretz) left us stuck on repeat with this beautiful song “UFO” off of his debut album, 20/20. The minute we heard Jon’s voice we fall in love with it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads. He has one of the best and most beautiful voices we’ve ever heard and his vocal performance on this track is more than professional. Jon is a skilled artist and he has so much talent when it comes to singing and songwriting. The production of this song is beautiful and the melodies are so catchy. We are very excited to see where Jon’s career will go over the coming months!
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Jon Athans Project (Jonathan Pretz) is an American singer/songwriter and musician from Reading, Pennsylvania. A combination of influences from the classic 60s and 70s songwriters he was raised on, like James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon, and many modern writers from the last few decades like Josh Ritter, Tom Hamilton, Sufjan Stevens and Jeff Tweedy, gives his music equal dashes of indie, folk, rock and Americana. While one foot is firmly planted as an acoustic singer and songwriter, make no mistake, the other is tapping along to a unique, full backup band.
“For 20 years I’ve been pretending I was going to make a record. 2020 was a year of dramatic change, isolation, custody, and love. I had not written a song in over a decade. I wrote 23 during the last six months of 2020. Eight made the cut. They are autobiographical, chronological and honest. I’d like to introduce my band, Jon Athans Project, and a record I’ve poured myself into, when not virtual schooling my kids, for the last 10 months. Coming late May.”
