Johnathan Edens is the lead singer
and vocalist of a three-person garage band from Skiatook, Oklahoma called
Autumn On Javine.
According to the band’s biography
at bandcamp.com, they, “write and play the music we want to hear, and at the
same time, we hope our listeners can take away something positive from our
music.” Although each individual member of the band helps write the music, the
majority of the ideas and themes of their genreless hits are introduced by
Edens.
The likes of AC/DC and Explosions
in the Sky have always influenced Edens’ life. He was raised around music,
pointing out that from a young age, he has been “fascinated” with how
beautifully his mother plays piano. There was also a time of depression in high
school that music helped him survive.
A friend of his, also the band’s
drummer, Reyes Valdez, says that John’s musical history has helped the band
grow, and tells of how he learned to take certain aspects from certain genres in
order to create what the band is today.
This fall, fans of Autumn On Javine
will be able to check out their music through Cox On Demand and ou.edu/tv on
the television show, The Set, a concert show series produced by Gaylord College
at the University of Oklahoma. The band also hopes to be releasing their album,
“There’s No Room For You Here,” in the near future. They are also performing at
the 3-year anniversary celebration at The Buzz Hookah lounge in Bixby, Oklahoma
on June 6th.
