I got a chance to sit down and talk with Jon about solo projects (one more to come), Switchfoot’s next album (“we’re painting…”) and what’s inspiring him these days (“the anti-immortality movement”). You can listen to the entire interview. Just copy/paste this link into your browser. (http://web.olivet.edu/shine897/music/Web_Audio/JonSFT).
After Switchfoot’s show for my radio station (in the south suburbs of Chicago), Jon dropped into Moon Monkey Coffee Company (which, by the way, serves the best coffee south of the city). Alone save an electric guitar, he played an hour’s worth of songs off of his solo ep’s for a crowd of less than 40 people. My friend Derek shot the whole thing with a professional-grade camera. Video coming by the end of the week…
Also, feel free to download/burn/share this in any way you please.
