Jon Guerra | Devotional Music Singer-Songwriter

[ep 103] My name is Jon Guerra, and I’m a singer-songwriter who writes devotional music – less Sunday morning worship music and more Monday morning prayer music. Devotional music is a collaboration with quiet. It’s music for attending to the soul, for listening to God.

My new album of devotional music, Keeper of Days, is out now.

I’ve lived in Chicago and am currently based in Austin, TX.
I enjoy the poetry of George Herbert, Robert Lax, Charles Peguy, R. S. Thomas, and Christian Wiman. I’m a huge fan of Bob Dylan and Bjork, Keith Green and Radiohead, Arvo Pärt and Fanny Crosby. I love any film that’s more quiet than not. As a person, I crave connection as much as I crave coffee in the morning.
As a writer, I like surprises.
As a composer, I’m secretly a Romantic.
I believe prayer is oxygen, and worship is water. I am a Christian.

Devotional music is how I describe my art. Racially androgynous is how I describe my face. I hope you hear my songs and enjoy them. If you do, let me know. If you don’t, thanks for trying!

(My debut album, Little Songs, released in 2015. And I recently composed music for Terrence Malick’s 2019 film, “A Hidden Life.”

You can find my new album, Keeper of Days, wherever you listen to music.)

This conversation with Jon Guerra is authentic and in depth. We talk about a theology of worship and creativity in the hard times. You really need to check out Jon’s music. These are not your ordinary songs and this is not an ordinary album.
