Jonathan Kingham will perform for the show beginning at 7 p.m. at The Outlaw Restaurant in Joseph. Other performances coming soon are The Matching Ties in concert Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Enterprise Odd Fellows Hall.; Tunesmith Night Oct. 25 will feature Julianna Waters; and Sara Grey in concert Oct. 26 beginning at 7 p.m. at Stage One in Enterprise. Kingham’s live performances are winning him fans and accolades. He took first place in the National Telluride Troubadour Songwriting Contest, The Unisong International Song Contest, as well as placing two years in a row in the top five at the John Lennon Song contest. Kingham also brought home the first place in the USA Songwriting Competition in the Folk Category as well as the grand prize out of a worldwide field of 33,000 entries. His singing has been featured in films, soap operas and even the WB network’s hit show “Felicity.” In 2003 he inked a development deal with Universal South Records and is currently writing and recording with some of the top writers and players in Nashville. The release of his third album “That Chages Everything” finds him mining the fertile changes of jazz while maintaining one foot firmly in the folk/pop world that has enabled him to sell more than 5,000 copies of his first two releases. Fans of Shawn Colvin, Norah Jones and Jamie Cullum will enjoy this new offering from one of Seattle’s up and coming performers. With a soothing blend of folk, pop, country and jazz, Kingham usually comes armed with a huge tub of Red Vines and a quick wit. He has rapidly become a favorite on the Northwest circuit. With a sound that is equally at home in a coffeehouse, theater or a lunchtime concert on the lawn, Kingham is a versatile and in-demand performer. Performing Songwriter magazine selected his sophomore release “Hardwood Floors” as one of its top Do It Yourself Picks. “If this is just the beginning, Kingham is going to be a major talent in the near future,” says Performing Songwriting magazine. |
