Jon Allen

A whiskey soaked voice and a pedigree as a songwriter of 4 studio albums to date; Jon was discovered by legendary guitarist Mark Knopfler who heard him singing at a party in West London. He subsequently toured with the guitar icon supporting him at Wembley Arena and on the rest of the European leg of the ‘All The Road Runners’ tour with Emmy Lou Harris. Mark Knopfler also played guitar and sang on his song ‘Sarah’ that appears on his debut album ‘Dead Man’s Suit’

More success came for Jon when his song ‘Going Home’ was chosen for a worldwide TV advert for a well known four-wheel drive vehicle. In the wake of this Jon signed a distribution deal for his first album with UK Label Absolute who have since released all his future output.

In the last ten years Jon has carved out a niche as a recording artist and live performer supporting such acts as Damien Rice, Brian May, Seal and Dionne Warwick whom he supported at the Albert Hall. His songs and distinctive voice can be heard across films and TV both here and in America. In the UK he has appeared on the iconic Later With Jools Holland TV show and as part of the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury.

When not working on his own material Jon has written songs for Petula Clarke and Record producer Guy Chambers.

His new album ‘…Meanwhile’ is release in 2021.
