          Jon 
            was born in Lafayette, LA, moved to Vegas when he was ten but swears 
            he'll come home again in style.  After five rather delinquent years 
            in Sin City, he moved to Germantown, MD, and has bounced around the 
            tri-state area since then. He broke the code of being a southern man 
            by living above the Mason Dixon in Boston from '03 to '05, but aside 
            from becoming a Red Socks fan and gaining a friend or two, the overall 
            experience was to his detriment. 
            That's what he gets for being a yankee.  
            Fronting Stokley Rose with southern style and panache comes easily 
              for Jon, who loves showing off maybe a little too much. But dammit 
              if he doesn't have a good time doing it. Sweating through his shirt 
              comes naturally with the amount of energy and effort he puts into 
              fronting the Rose. With influences like Adam Duritz, Paul Simon, 
              James Hetfield, Peter Gabriel, etc. Jon puts words to the music 
              in eccentric fashion. More often than not, the words just come out 
              and he figures out what they mean later. Almost like a musical Rorschach. 
             
            Jon wouldn't have it any other way.
