Often compared to David Bowie, Queen, and Meat Loaf, the music from Jon Smith's Voyages encompasses theatrical elements throughout eclectic (and sometimes quirky) arrangements. The "band" is comprised only of Jon Smith, as he sings all vocals, plays over 15 instruments, and writes all the songs. With thoughtful lyrics, unique arrangements, and a dynamic vocal range, he's likely to captivate.

You're a clumsy, foolish, accident prone slob who never learns from mistakes. Oh well, who cares if they find you absurd? Features great dixieland sounding woodwind action!
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
Old timey musical arrangement with elements of ragtime, blues, and 1920s jazz with Jon Smith playing everything including vocals, Hammond M3 organ, bass, electric guitar, drums, trumpet, flute, clarinet, and alto saxophone. Lyrics about having a "baby face" and always looking a little out of place in grown up situations.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
Jaunty song with layers of keyboards, woodwinds, and rock instruments singing about the pursuit of fame and fortune including all the ups, downs, and compromises one might have to endure. Many moods and sonic landscapes shift in and out to explore these complex feelings.

Joyous and regal sounding piano, woodwind, and horn piece.

One man band? More like one man orchestra! Jon Smith plays everything from the piano and drums, to the clarinet and trumpet on this fun and robust sounding song about unintentionally offending someone and wanting their forgiveness.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
Classic rock sounding song with touches of Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and Queen. Tells the tale of deciding to stubbornly weather the storm and not let anything else make your decisions for you!
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
With an arrangement and style that would be right at home at a Renaissance Fair, Jon puts his guard up against strangers. The lyrics describe the lonely feeling of preemptively rejecting potential friends before they can reject you in the future.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
Retro sounding upbeat rock song that muses on needing to work so you can live life, but being unable to live life because you're too busy working! There's always something else that you have to do.. Meh, "I'll Get Around To It"!
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
Whimsical, bright, fun, and zany! Instrumental piece that will make you feel like you're having a delicious, sweet treat on a beautiful sunny day! Features upright piano, Lowrey organ, banjo, clarinet, and electric piano.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
Relaxing Wurlitzer, horns, woodwinds, ukulele, and accordian evoke the feeling of finishing up a tasty ice cream cone while taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of a beautiful day on the beach!
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
The music has sort of an old school Hollywood vibe, which is very fitting because amongst the accordian, piano and trumpet, is the sad observation of a valuable and talented human being who is only appreciated for her exterior.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
Heavy lyric over a lighthearted soundscape musing about living life to its fullest and meeting one's potential, while crippled by the worry that time is slipping away too quickly. This menagerie of keyboards, horns, woodwinds, and string instruments could fit any scene where one is trying to put on a brave face while feeling defeated on the inside.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
Latin tinged song about someone who's a bit of a Debbie Downer / contrarian type: pulls the fourth leaf off a four leaf clover, burns flowers from her boyfriend, rejects the singer's fashion sense. And yet the singer can't help but still care for her and want to be kept posted on how she's doing.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
Starts off acoustic and simple before building up to a dramatic song about someone who feels they are past their prime or at least considered by others to be past their prime...
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
Musings on the material world while considering mortality and the meaning of life. Features upright piano, Lowrey organ, pump organ, wurlitzer, french horn, clarinet, cello, flute, trumpet, and even banjo!
Jon Smiths Voyages (Indeed)
Classic rock song that would sound at home on Bowie's Man Who Sold The World album. Tells the tale of Reginald who attempts to warn his peers of a danger but fails as they just want to have fun. Ends with a magnificent woodwind coda.
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
It's a hard and stressful world out there, and you may have to shed your old skin to become something tougher and more resilient in order to make it through. A soundbed of tack piano, Lowrey and Pump organs, woodwinds, horns, and string instruments similarly evolve to tell this story of perseverance.

A fun song with woodwinds, organs, guitars, and plenty of exuberant vocals and harmonies! The lyric expresses the worry of eternal damnation but in the fun wording that hell would be "Too Hot For Me"
Jon Smiths Voyages (Unattended Symphony)
A somber and understated acoustic guitar piece paints a graveyard scene where one can ponder mortality and and the dread that comes with it. Wurlitzer, cello, bass, and vocal harmonies feature.
