Jon Hainstock Music

+Biography

Jon Hainstock is not just a singer/songwriter. Slashes do not fully complement what he does. Hainstock plays a brand of piano-pounding acoustic and electric pop rock. His mature songwriting never veils his voice, which paints a different color into each song. Hainstock is real enough to smile during a show even in his most vulnerable moment. He is daring at some points and bashful at others, but never afraid to point out the irony or awkwardness of a situation.

Jon writes songs about your life - songs about his life. Your stories - his stories, are what fuel the melodies that drive the anthems he sings. All of which are kept alive by reflecting on previous successes and failures. He sings truth however hopeless or determined.

Hainstock wants to change lives and is constantly searching for a way to make things better. For now he has this music and he wants to share it with people who could sing it with him. That way he and his listener could be connected somehow, near or far, no matter how impersonal, and grow together through life.

ABOUT TELL THE TRUTH

Tell The Truth has humble roots. The entire project was recorded with a limited budget in a basement where we had to fight off spiders and wait for the water pump to turn off before we could proceed. The album was produced by Caleb Crockett and myself and all of the instruments were accounted for by the two of us with John Carlson on drums. The songs on Tell The Truth are filled with emotion as I concentrated more on topics more close to home. It's obvious that I am still trying to figure out where I'd like my music to go because all of the songs vary so much in style. I love different styles of music and so it's hard for me to settle into one sound that defines who I am. Until I do that I am going to keep writing music that appeals to all of my tastes and I will continue to try to tell the truth in all that I do.
