Jon Peter Lewis, a favorite American Idol finalist from the show's third season, is scheduled to perform with his band at Molly Malone's club in Los Angeles on April 11th.

Jon, also known as "JPL" to his enthusiastic fans, has shed the strictly "pop" image created by the show and taken a more bluesy and soulful direction with his music. An accomplished guitarist, Jon has been busy writing and recording songs with impressive results.

Following Jon's independent and well-received release of his first original song, "Turn to Grey,"? Jon found continued success with another original tune, "It's Christmas." The Christmas song, released in 2005, hit the 13th spot on the Canadian airplay charts just after 3 weeks of radio play.

Jon and his band will be performing in the Los Angeles area before embarking on a nationwide tour. He is currently recording an EP of original songs with an expected release date in late spring.
