   About jon crocker
i'm currently focusing on some things other than music, so you may not find many updates here. rest assured, i'm still writing and playing music, i'm just not touring as much. and now i live very far from most all of you, so stay tuned- if i do come play shows in your area, you'd better show up! because it might be a very very long time until i'm back again.

in the meantime, you can hear music on this page, buy music from the links below, or online at my website, the greyday records online store, the bluetint records online store, itunes, and many other digital distributors.

i also played guitar/sang in the continental light brigade.

to buy cds: if you like the music, please buy a cd! they are cheap and can be bought at shows (NOTE: CDs ARE ALWAYS $5 AT SHOWS...so there is more incentive to enjoy music the proper way!), through the "music" page on my website with credit cards or paypal (i also accept cash/check/money orders, email me for the address to send it to). or you can click on the buttons/links below:

thank you for supporting independent music! (and helping me eat food)

booking: if you want to book me to play in your town, email me at jon [at] intelligentlystupid.com. i tour sometimes and am always open to new places. i prefer playing all ages venues and basement/house shows (no bars, please). in fact, i prefer playing the most random remote and small places. it's more fun and exciting.

oh, and about me: i write, perform, and produce all of what you hear (i also record, mix and master a lot of it). i book all my own shows(with some help from friends, of course). you could say that i currently am enjoying the freedom of doing everything myself.

seaside song #6, what a song. it has this groove, this feeling, this blood in it that pop music has been missing for probably more than a half century. good work jon crocker.
