JJ Appleton
JJ Appleton, born Jon Jason Appleton, is an American musician and singer-songwriter based in New York City who has toured throughout the United States extensively in support of his own records and also with other bands including Jamie Cullum, Newton Faulkner, Pete Yorn, Edwin McCain, Sister Hazel, Joan Osborne, Keb Mo, Hootie and the Blowfish. Appleton has been described by the Washington Post as a songwriter with a “pop-rock sound but with considerably more edgy energy, adding figurative lightning to the stormy night.” Previously a member of the popular New York band The Grasshoppers, Appleton released his first solo album ''500 Moments'' in 2003 which led to appearances on the NBC television show ''Last Call with Carson Daly'', a feature on E!'s ''Wild On'', and a national affiliation with Budweiser's True Music Live program and Gibson Guitars. Appleton released his album ''Uphill to Purgatory'' in the United States in 2005 which was then re-released in the United Kingdom in 2006 as ''Someone Else's Problem'' and included three songs from the ''500 Moments'' EP. Based on the recognition he was receiving in England, Appleton decided to move to London in 2006 where he became a regularly featured performer at popular venues such as Ronnie Scott's, The Borderline, and The Regal Room. In the meantime, the single "Walk Into The Room" and it's accompanying video became a favorite on English radio and MTV Two. In 2015, Appleton released an acoustic blues album entitled "Dirty Memory" with harmonicist Jason Ricci.
== Early life ==
Appleton was born in Norwich, Vermont, on April 4, 1976, the son of Georganna Towne and Jon H. Appleton, a composer and professor of electro-acoustic music at Dartmouth College. Professor Appleton was also one of the co-inventors of the Synclavier digital music synthesizer and recording system and which JJ would later use as a producer in New York City to record his own and other artist's music. In his capacity as a performer and a teacher, Jon Appleton was able to bring his family with him around the world where they would sometimes live for extended periods of time.w "Wherever the Appletons went, Jon had a musical agenda, which afforded JJ the rare opportunity to immerse himself in the indigenous music of such exotic places as Tonga, Sweden, Israel and Turkey."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.coffeeartists.com/jjappleton )〕 Of his Mother's support for his developing interest in music, JJ has said, "She definitely encouraged my musical pursuits. She would tape record me singing twenty minute songs about Viking battles and spaghetti when I was 6".
