McLaughlin - like all the McLaughlin children - began piano at an early age but an accident that injured both his wrists and a temporary loss of interest sidelined Jon for a while. After high school Jon attended the local music college and rekindled his musical interest. He sites piano playing greats Billy Joel and Sir Elton John among his musical influences.
The 13 track on McLaughlin's new album "Indiana" reflects his classical piano training. His writing and playing abilities shine on the album's title track; a song that features Jon's voice, his piano, and a cello. Even on a fast paced rocking tune like "Anthem for American Teenagers" Jon's beautiful piano melodies and talents shine through.
Yet another talented young musician who deserves time on the commercial radio airwaves.
