Orphan Jon’s Latest Studio Album “Over The Pain” Released 8/26/22!!

The Galaxie Agency and Vintage LaNell Records are proud to announce the new release for Orphan Jon and The Abandoned.

“Over The Pain” which was produced by Alastair Greene was released on August 26, 2022.

“After my 2018 debut album “Abandoned No More”, I wanted to write an album that centered on moving on, in spite of, and overcoming. “In Spite Of” is my life’s motto, and it is what has driven me in a positive direction since my childhood. The Covid pandemic initially put the brakes on this album’s production but, as I’ve learned over time, you get to decide what the outcome will be. Sure there are unknowns that can delay your progress, but you alone will determine how it all ends.

And so The Abandoned and I, along with my great friend Alastair Greene who produced, co-wrote and played on the album as well, went into the studio in late January 2021 and got to business on bringing my vision to reality. And even with the unfortunate delays throughout 2021 due to the pandemic, the album was completed this past Spring. I truly appreciate all the love and support of OJATA.”

  1. Hey, caught you guys on the Long Beach Blues Society fund raiser. Loved your work! We’ll have to come to one of your shows some time—when we can actually see live music again!
    I manage a band in Northern California. The Ryder Green Band. They have a spot somewhere in the fundraiser livestream. I don’t know the time.
    Anyway, just wanted to let you know I was impressed with your set.
    Cheers!

    1. Appreciate the love bro. Sorry so late in responding to you. I have got to remember to check my website messages more often.

  2. Is Bruce still in your band. He (and you of course) we’re the highlight. I miss him and worry that he’s ok (knowing he had back issues) God bless to you both

    1. Hi Marlene, sorry so late in responding. I have got to check my messages on here more often. Thank you for the kind words. Bruce is doing well now. His back is much better and he’s been enjoying his retirement with his wife on the Central Coast of California. Thank you for the concern.

      Be well,
      Orphan Jon
