Make a dream tomorrow's reality sings Boston-based singer-songwriter JR, offering a glimpse into his independent soul. I think that I write for the day, and make every detail a page in my life. JR's 2003 EP release Listen Loud brought great attention to Boston's local music scene, leading to gigs opening for Epicís 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. In 1999, JR went on to front a band called 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 a little under three years. After performing at some of San Diego's best-known venues, JR developed the confidence he was in search of. At twenty-four years old and with his rapidly growing fan base, he has returned to his hometown and is filling up local clubs and college campus venues all over the Northeast. In December 2004, JR signed a recording contract with New York's Klub Records. Les Francoeur, CEO of Klub signed JR after tracking his success on numerous Internet download sites and the popular file-sharing communities. JR's estimated downloads were approaching 10,000 while receiving consistent praises from LA based A&R company Taxi. JR's new rock-acoustic sound leaves audience listeners with nothing less than a wow after his performances. "I love to give it my all at every show, to me that's what it's all about, making it personal for everyone that was kind enough to show up." JR is currently in the studio with Klub Records recording fourteen new songs for his debut album "Racing the Sun" set for a national release in late Spring.
