Over the last 15 years Jon Buller has contributed an eclectic and growing catalogue of music to the artistic landscape of Canada. In 2009 he will add his anticipated 10th CD release LIGHT UP THE SKY to that list. His recording career has generated sales of over 40,000 units, and received critical acclaim including a Juno nomination for his CD SINNER & THE SAINT, and 2 Covenant Awards, for Praise and Worship Song of the Year (Lord of Every Thing - 2006) and Traditional Album of the Year (the Hymn Project - 2008).
Buller, also a worship pastor at Vernon Alliance church in BC, teamed up with award winning veteran producer Roy Salmond to work on LIGHT UP THE SKY, and the result is a recording that is the perfect synergy of Buller’s strengths. Modern worship music,
classic rock grooves and great songs. Canadian songwriting treasure Carolyn Arends, and Starfield lead singer Tim Neufeld also make guest appearances on the recording.
The inspiration continued with 5 more original songs, 2 of which were co-writing experiences; one with guitar sensation Jacob Moon, and the other with singer-songwriter extraordinaire Bob Bennett. Buller also chose 4 more songs that fit him perfectly one by worship writer Tim Hughes and another by blues prodigy Johnny Lang and one each from Winnipeg friends Rob Mitchell and Gord Johnson.
Fans and critics alike will be thankful for this new offering from Jon Buller, which flows with a consistency and musical clarity that comes from artistic growth and maturity. Even so, the youthful energy of Buller’s music seems to only increase with each year of
his experience. Last year Buller toured across Canada with Juno winner Steve Bell, and he will continue to venture out on the road on his own in 2010 to support the release of LIGHT UP THE SKY.
Jon’s music is distributed by Signpost Music and is available at www.jonbuller.com and itunes.
