Trail of Broken Hearts: A Jon McLaughlin Fansite

Latest twitter updates from Jon (about time!):

Good morning Monday - currently working on demo of "what if I were leaving" - and currently have a mustache. http://bit.ly/7PRy4H 9:42 AM Dec 14th from Facebook

One of my many New Year's resolutions:

New album from Jon, pretty please.

They say the 3rd album blows the rest out of the water ;)

Well it's been a month without any actual updates.  I apologize for that ;) There hasn't been any new news about the upcoming album, until today, sort of.

Jon posted today that he is currently looking for a new producer to work with for his next album.  From the looks of it, he probably has a complete list of songs to record already.  If anyone has Facebook or Twitter, might as well send him some suggestions.  Never know if he might consider it ;)

In addition, I found a couple of pictures from 2008 that were new to me and added two of them to the "Awards & Benefits" and a couple of old ones in the "Other Promotional" section.  You can find more info about the gala by copying and pasting the link under the pictures (Skin Sense ones).  Check them out in the Photo Gallery.

Thanks for checking in.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates in the past couple of weeks.  I was just trying to recover from last week's craziness (going to 2 Snow Patrol concerts here in NYC and meeting the lead singer after both shows!!) and had a busy Sunday over at a friend's house.

It flew over my head that it was Jon's birthday yesterday!   I sent him birthday wishes before the day was over on his Facebook so I didn't feel that bad after all. He turned 27!  Hope he had a great day.

In other Jon news, he posted about finishing yet another new song.  The titles are adding up every few weeks!

from his twitter:

"Just finished a song called 'horrible things' - I LOVE the days I finish a song. I'm going to celebrate with lunch."

This is all for now. Will keep updating.. 'til then

Jon started working on a new song about 'America' but doesn't know if he has lived enough to write about one.

"now just starteda new song...it's about America...halfway thru - I don't know if I'velived enough life to write an "America" song..."

Well Jon, just do what feels right for you and good luck with the track if you do decide to keep working on it ;)

Jon posted a new title of a song on his Facebook and Twitter accounts:

http://twitter.com/JonMcLaughlin

"Working on a demo of new song 'Lonely People' today - currently using a pipe organ....snap...."

So far we have these titles that have been talked about or performed in the past year:

You Belong With Me

You Are My Girl Tonight

Lonely People

Untitled (jokingly titled Streets of Philadelphia at a Philly show)

You can watch the videos of Jon performing 'You Belong' and 'Untitled' earlier this year here:

Jon just confirmed on his Facebook/Twitter that he had just finished a new song! Not sure if he meant  finished recording it or writing it.   It's a love song called "You Are My Girl Tonight". 

http://twitter.com/JonMcLaughlin

"Just finished a new song. There is nothing like the day I finish a new song. It's called 'you are my girl tonight' ...it's a love song."

I'm just happy we finally get to know the title of an unreleased song :p .  Please let us hear it soon Jon

Hello all,

I now edited this section so that it's both a blog and a news section (mostly news) for the site.  Any and all future news/updates about Jon will be posted here.

Unfortunately for Jon and us, there was no new video posted this week.  He said on Twitter  that he had technical difficulties putting up this week's "Video Wednesdays" video but he promised he will put up 2 new ones next week.

Also, this past wednesday he posted about having finishing recording a demo on electric guitar and mentioned it was his first time playing electric for a demo.  He's admitted not being good on guitar in the past but I would love to hear it nonetheless.  Here's hoping we get to hear new songs fairly soon.

Thanks for checking.
