Jonah McLean is a folk singer-songwriter blending vintage Laurel Canyon influences with modern indie-folk intimacy. Performing with an upright bass and fiddle, his songs feel like pages from a weathered notebook – sketching love, heartbreak, and healing through lived experiences. After a year of writing, performing, and releasing music across a range of styles, Jonah used his first ten releases as a process of self discovery. That experimentation has led to a new and clear artistic direction – a sound that leaves the seams showing to let raw and emotional vulnerability breathe. Now entering a new chapter, Jonah is building toward “Fleeting Dreams” his debut full-length album, set for release in June 2026 with the first single out in April. Collaborating with James McKenty and Melissa Payne, the live off the floor record holds true to his story – navigating love and heartbreak while getting older. Influenced by Neil Young, Cat Stevens, and Gordon Lightfoot, with modern echoes of Ray LaMontagne, Jonah’s performances invite audiences to be vulnerable and reminder us that our most personal experiences can bring us together.
