TESTIMONIALS
Jonathan's groove is undeniable. He brings in his own melodic voice and seamlessly pairs it with each song. To add, he is easy going, coachable, and never fails to have the best attitude in the room.
BRITTON DEUEL - SINGER/SONGWRITER & PRODUCER -- Nashville, TN
Jonathan is a special kind of bassist. He is the kind that doesn’t just play his part, but elevates the song to levels unthinkable. He has a keen ear and a true enthusiasm to groove and tone that separates him from your run of the mill studio player. His playing comes from the heart which is synonymous with the personality behind it. Rarely do you find someone who puts himself into the songs like he does and for that, I believe, he is one of the best around.
PATTON HUGHES - - Red River Hymn -- Nashville, TN
Working with Jonathan is a massive addition to the quality of my music. His contributions to every project go well beyond impeccable bass parts that always enhance the track (and he always brings those goods). But I can also rely on his arrangement and songwriting expertise, which have consistently improved my projects. Many times I've gone back and added new parts to build off what he's done, always to the betterment of the tune. Best of all, you will not find a better collaborator. He is patient, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with; can't recommend him enough.
JOE VALLINA - Heavy Editors/Battleship Battleship -- Washington, D.C.
I have recorded a few times with Jonathan, and he is always great to work with! He is a great player, is always professional, and does a great job adding to the feel of the song.
