Jon Martin and Lovers
Jon Martin and Lovers Official Website
Jon Martin and Lovers is a gang of pals from southern Alberta that got together in 2019 to make a hazy blend of Alt-Country, Americana, and British pop music. Led by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Martin, …and Lovers guides audiences across fields of enveloping melodies and through tales of fragile love. The influence of life under wide-open prairie skies—with all of its beauty, swagger, heartbreak, and twang—is heard ringing throughout every one of their songs.
