Jon Langston is a singer/songwriter from Loganville, Georgia. Langston first learned to play the guitar in 8th grade, but music wasn’t his main focus until his junior year of college. Langston attended Gardner-Webb University, where he played football.

Country music is Langston's passion, but he has had many different influences that have molded his music style. Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Tim Mcgraw to Guns-n-Roses, Staind, and Lynyrd Skynard have taken part into forming what Jon Langston’s music has become. 

In 2012, Langston began writing his own original songs and worked on them at Century Studios in Atlanta, GA, and released his first three original songs in January 2013. His song “Forever Girl” played on Atlanta’s 94.9 The Bull’s Backyard Country for six weeks. Jon released four new songs off his “Runnin’ on Sunshine” EP that he co wrote with another artist and good friend, Jordan Rager, in August 2013. Off the new EP, “She’s so Georgia”, was aired within a week of release on Backyard Country. 

He has played venues in Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina, and has had the opportunity to be the opening act for artists such as; Chase Rice and Corey Smith. Jon was nominated for the 2013 Georgia Country Awards, Male Artist of the Year and thanks to his fans, he is currently one of twelve vying for the award. Langston’s music is available on iTunes now!

 

It seems like everyone saw the duo potential in Charleston native Matt Chase and small town Washington, Georgia's Chris Rogers before they saw it themselves. Before morphing into the musical outfit now known as Southerland, the two had been playing college towns and dive bars together for three years. They met through mutual friends, and their musical compatibility is what has kept the two working and playing together since 2016. Now, they have developed into a duo that relies heavily on lyrical content, while melodically blending classic and pop country. “If the song can’t hold up acoustically, it can’t hold up at all.” This idea drives the two to create music that takes the story telling of traditional country music and gives it that modern country music feel. Chris and Matt are currently signed to River House Artists under Sony Music Nashville. The boys will be recording their first studio EP to release later this year.
