Jonathan Singleton & The Grove

Jackson, Tennessee native Jonathan Singleton co-penned number one hits for Gary Allan (“Watching Airplanes”) and Billy Currington (“Don’t”) before striking out on his own in 2009. The raspy singer/songwriter/guitarist’s band, the Grove, specializes in the kind of rootsy outsider contemporary country music favored by contemporaries like Steve Earle and Cross Canadian Ragweed. Jonathan Singleton & the Grove’s eponymous debut album was released in May 2010 on Toby Keith’s Show Dog-Universal Records. ~ James Christopher Monger
