   About Van Risseghem (HE IS NO STRANGER - 12.01.09)
"If you feel you’ve been going through the motions, take your hands and just let go." twenty-one year old Tulsa native, Jonathan Van Risseghem sings on his new full length release, The Motions. The motion of his music career has greatly accelerated recently, as he experiences a fast growing following throughout the Midwest.

Within 6 months of releasing The Motions Van Risseghem has been regularily played on radio across the nation. Title track, "The Motions" has been added to frequent rotation in Delta Airlines national/worldwide in-flight radio and boarding entertainment as well as broadcast on 17,000+ theatres as pre-movie entertainment. Van Risseghem's songs are also featured on the KNYZ104.5 compilation CD, the Hollywood Music In Media Awards Compilation CD, and voted for KHTT106.9 Listener's Choice.

Jonathan is backed by one of the most solid live bands on the road today. Lead guitarist Alex Coleman, generates a pure vintage sound through his rig, Joshua Davidson cuts through with his driving bass, Kristen Howald adds rich organics with dulcimer, glockenspiel, and various percussive instruments, and drummer Arlis Moon takes no prisoners with his intimidating percussive work.

Van Risseghem's song craft shows no sign of artistic compromise, but rather a deepening of signature aesthetics and concise songwriting galvanized into a high-energy live show. Like a painter who masters the fundamentals of drafting before becoming an Expressionist or Cubist, Jonathan leverages solid lyricism as a foundation on which to build the colorful melodious constructions of the imagination.

Perhaps it's something about the excessively commercial nature of pop music these days that make people want to reach back in time. Or, maybe it is just the music itself – spirited, direct, colorful. Whatever it is, Van Risseghem taps that energy of yesterday’s music with it’s tones and rhythms, producing a rich-textured sound topped off with an engaging vocal delivery. He joins these solid arrangements with ear catching melodies in any chart topper of today’s music.

"[Van Risseghem] has the same passion, and joy for creating music that has been almost entirely lost with today’s artists, and it truly shines in his work."
- theFOUR11

"Van Risseghem (pronounced “van – riss – egg – hem”) summons daydreamy pop-melodicism...instantly hummable and clearly ready for a wide mainstream audience, it is not the anomalies and winsome touches in the production that draw as much attention as the very grounded storytelling and real-world imagery his lyrics summon."
- Music Zeitgeist

"The Motions’ acoustically charged title track is certainly worth of national attention and airplay, showing off Van Risseghem’s vocal talent and delivering a worthwhile message of keeping your head up."
- College News Magazine

"Easily one of the most engaging pop records to emerge in the first quarter of the year"
- Urban Tulsa Weekly
