who know who the hell Jonathan Ian is. For those who don't
and have came upon this site by chance, Jonathan Ian (AKA
Jonathan Ian Mathers) is better known for his comedic
creations, Foamy The Squirrel and 4y-Records, among others.
His solo music career had gone largely ignored by the
masses with the exception of a few fanatical fans who
traded tapes, discs and digital versions of his music
to spread it to anyone who would listen.
Starting around 1995 with little more than a cheap guitar,
cheap recording equipment and a handful of chords to his
knowledge, over the years he's carved out 6 LPs, 4 Eps,
and 2 compilations of rarities.
Somber,
melodic, catchy, and mostly, very angry, his solo acoustic
music has touched the nerves of many a heart-broken loner
creating a small but loyal base of fans the world over.
Not much has been heard musically from Jonathan Ian since
2008, but he continues strong with his artistic efforts
