The Speaker Wars
THE SPEAKER WARS is an Americana-Rock band formed by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, Stan Lynch, and Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis (JCD). They co-wrote and produced a collection of songs for their self-titled release that’s the culmination of their long-time collaboration, revealing rock, country and gospel influences with a new, but already famous sound.
Stan’s widely-known as one of Rock’s most tasteful time-keepers and a founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The Hall of Fame drummer, singer-songwriter and producer has written songs for Don Henley, Ringo, Toto, The Byrds, Rita Coolidge, Meredith Brooks, Tim McGraw, Eagles, Sister Hazel, Eddie Money, The Mavericks, and The Knack. He’s also played on and produced some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums in the industry. Stan brings those skills to his first band project since Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Beyond producing and playing grooves for THE SPEAKER WARS, Stan lends his guitar, keyboard, bass and vocal chops to the mix.
Jon Christopher Davis (JCD) began his career as a singer-songwriter in Dallas, Texas. He sharpened his craft by working in bars, theaters and concerts halls for over 30 years. JCD spent ten of those years in Nashville, garnering major-label record deals and writing songs for several major-label artists. It was in Nashville where JCD and Stan met. Stan was selected to produce JCD’s solo album. They quickly struck up a friendship and professional collaboration that led them ultimately to form THE SPEAKER WARS. JCD lends his vocals, guitar, bass, piano and harmonica to the album.
