Only Son is the music of NYC based songwriter Jack Dishel. His debut album, "The Drop To The Top" (Cassette Recordings), is available for download on iTunes and all other major web stores. For the last few years he's been touring in support of the album in the UK, Europe, Australia and America opening for Regina Spektor, Adam Green and The Strokes (as Adam Green's guitarist). Jack is currently in the middle of recording the new Only Son album and also playing guitar/singing in Little Joy, as founding member Fabrizio Moretti returns to The Strokes.
Before creating Only Son, Jack Dishel was the frontman of NYC band Stipplicon as well as lead guitarist for indie favorites The Moldy Peaches. He can also be heard singing backups on the new records from Regina Spektor and Nickel Eye (Nikolai Fraiture). Be on the lookout for new music soon!
