Little Songs Jon Guerra

Placed in the CCM section but heavily influenced by artists from outside the genre, singer and songwriter Jon Guerra grew up on the likes of Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, and Radiohead. Raised in Wheaton, Illinois then based in Chicago, Guerra joined Meredith Andrews, Seth McConkey, and others in the songwriting and worship team Vertical Church Band. After appearing on their albums Live Worship from Vertical Church (2012) and Rock Won't Move (2013), Guerra collected excess songs he had written for the group and launched a solo career with the 2014 single "I Will Follow." It landed on that year's EP Glass, and in 2015, he released his debut album, Little Songs. ~ David Jeffries
