Search - John David Kent :: Before the Sun Comes Up

Before The Sun Comes Up, JDK's highly anticipated sophomore record, embodies everything that the first record foreshadowed, explains Kent. It was during a recent acoustic set when I realized that I often write about driving, open roads, moving, and being gone...which makes total sense because that's what I know. I've been gone for half of my life.

Fans of the first record will once again ride shotgun as JDK drives you from sunset to sunrise in a teenaged American summer. Fueled by his trademark sing-a-long melodies, these songs are as ready for audiences seated on dancehall barstools, as they are for those on lawn seats at an amphitheater. Characteristic of JDK's sound, Before The Sun Comes Up balances commercial appeal with raw energy. Whiskey Myers' frontman, Cody Cannon, tells listeners to expect country-infused rock and roll delivered in a very honest way. JDK's new record is tighter, more mature, and keeps his signature sound that's very vintage, but still modern. This kind of music is rare these days.
