Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Drummer Stan Lynch and singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis, have joined forces to create the newest rock band to hit the music scene, The Speaker Wars. Both men are accredited in their own right as musicians and together they are navigating the new music industry with ease.
Stan Lynch, one of the founding members of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, turned to songwriting and producing and has written songs for Don Henley, Ringo, Toto, The Byrds, Rita Coolidge, Tim McGraw, Eagles, Eddie Money, The Mavericks, and The Knack. Jon Christopher Davis has written for and recorded with Dolly Parton, Timothy B. Schmit (Eagles), The Go-Go’s, Billy Ray Cyrus, Steve Lukather (Toto), Vince Gill, Radney Foster, Rodney Crowell and Hal Ketchum.
Their first single as a band, “Never Ready to Go,” dropped March 25. The rock song harkens us back to the old days of rock and roll, while also giving it a modern day touch. It has a strong similarity to Tom Petty and the Eagles, with sultry vocals from Jon and heavy guitar riffs. Stan’s drumming takes on a life of its own. He plays as part of the song, not just a background piece to carry the guitar.
The Speaker Wars is just two guys making music they want to hear coming out of their speakers on their own terms, time, and dime. Spending years writing and producing for others, they are ready to create for themselves.
