Since his early teens, JD Allen has been using his God-given gifts to write and perform an eclectic range of original music with a unique style and sound that is all his own. With a lyric style strongly influenced by the Bible, the desire is for the message of each song to be of utmost importance. Before going out on his own, JD has a rich musical history that includes performing with the likes of Jo Dee Messina, Toby Keith, Doug Kershaw, Hank Thompson, and the late Red Rhodes. When not writing, performing, or touring, JD actively serves in various ministries in his home church.
With the overwhelming reception and success of the newly released album, "Heaven Is My Home", JD Allen is launching his spring series of local concerts. Joining JD are some of the same talented musicians who recorded with JD on the album, including the vocal talents of Joleen Billingham and guitar picker Jon Noffsinger. Backing the trio will be a full band including drums, bass, and harmonica. The music lineup includes songs from JD's recent album, as well as country favorites from his Windy City Cowboy selections. This is just the start of a full concert series around the Chicagoland area.

Genres : Acoustic / Inspirational
Sounds Like : Johnny Cash meets Eddy Montgomery and Jesus for an acoustic coffee shop set. Van Halen sits in for one song and a latte. The harmonies remind us of Herb Pedersen and that famous Emmy Lou. Really it sounds like JD, Jon and Joleen.
Influences : This album is influenced by the artists and musicians who, over the years, have created great music and written outstanding songs.
You can get the JD Allen release from IndieHeaven - the leading Christian distributor dedicated to the advancement of independent Christian musicians and the independent Christian music scene.
