Jon Mullane




Jon Mullane always intended on writing a new summer song for the modern era, especially after several years living in Los Angeles. “The Sun in the Summertime” is the result, an infectious, upbeat, feel good summer anthem with nods to the 60s (Beach Boys, Four Seasons), 70’s ( Raspberries), 80’s (Eric Carmen), 90s (Four Non Blondes), 00s (Smashmouth), and more. Add in a slick production with fresh harmonies by producer Creighton Doane, and everything is so fine, fine, fine.

From his new EP "California'" set for release on June 9, 2023.

Jon Mullane is an award winning, Billboard charting singer, songwriter and performer originally hailing from Halifax, NS Canada. He has gained International acclaim and attention through his music, as his songs have been heard on commercial and satellite radio stations, featured in numerous television shows, films and commercials and played at International sporting events.

Stevie Williams



Stevie: “I was born in Salford UK and raised on dreams and fresh air!"


It all started when I was 5yrs old and I borrowed a bag of vinyl records. An old collection of mixed up 78s 33s and 45rpm which was fun changing the speeds! I was six years old when I started teaching myself to sing and play. Piano first then guitar and bass guitar and I was eight years old when I wrote my first song.


At about the same time I formed a duo with a school friend and we performed our first gig on my front door step! Shortly after I started experimenting with recording and tape looping, layering vocal harmonies and generally exploring the multi-track recording process. A big decision was to trade my bike for an electric guitar and an old record player which I used as a guitar amp until I blew all the electricity in the house!


From there my musical interest spiralled beautiful out of control and I discovered many other artists and styles in Pop, Rock & Roll, Jazz, Folk, Americana, Soul, Gospel, Country and more!


I’ve played bass for and recorded and toured with a large number of artist. Here are a few highlights:

Jim Mullen - John Cooper Clarke - Tanita Tikaram - Hamish Stuart (Average White Band) - Christy Moore - Ralph McTell - Hot House Flowers.


Support tours with: Frankie Beverly and Maze, Freddie Jackson, Joe Cocker, Sheryl Crow, Alexander O’Neal and more!


“My motivation? … good songwriting and the way music connects with people.”

The Static dive

 



The Static Dive follows a string of underground hits like "High & Dry" and "Only a Snowfall" with a guitar-fueled cover of John Lennon's anti-war anthem "Give Peace a Chance".


Of the release, Bob Smith (The Static Dive) says, 'Each year I drop a single on my birthday (April 15). Considering the disturbing state of the world, I thought this was the perfect gift for me and a my fellow pacifist Lennon fans.'

"Give Peace a Chance" by The Static Dive pairs modern psychedelic rock vibes with the sing-along spirit of the original; to bring John Lennon's simple and beautiful proposition to a new light.
