Free DemoFest 2009

<<back

Hello and welcome to the Jon Hollins 'Free DemoFest 2009' where you'll find a selection of original tracks hot off the mixer and all available for FREE. Whoopee! There's a mixture of acoustic and indie/rock tracks all produced in Jon's eclectic style for your listening pleasure, and they'll be up here for long enough to give plenty of people a chance to hear them. Feedback is welcome but don't forget they're just demos and the plan is to record these tracks properly when the timing's right.

If you're in the music/media industry and want more info or better quality files just leave a message below. Jon's 2008 debut album
'Line In' is available for purchase from this site in physical format.

'A huge thank you to Bruce at Modern English for the use of his fantastic studio space and thanks to you and happy listening.' JH

(NB: because of the way the music player works some of these tracks seem to 'fade in' when you're playing them through your browser, they don't do this when you download)

'If you're too busy to listen to all the tracks, these first three are probably the most
'radio friendly' although I wouldn't say they're exactly mainstream.' JH
