Jonathan
Varnell
Singer/Songwriter
Jonathan’s first album in nearly 40 years sums up the experiences and influences beginning with his first lesson in 1972. Since then he started several bands, toured several countries with a group called The Heritage Singers, lived in South Africa where he released as part of two separate bands—Heirborn & Newsong, RSA. Between the two bands he released 4 albums (Child of the King 1984, In the Heart of Jesus 1984, Peaceful Moods 1985 with Heirborn; One album with Newsong RSA in 1986), and has played as either hired guitarist/vocalist or a worship leader in churches. His influences are reflected on the new album “Beyond Words” though in a more quiet style. He continues to play locally for various functions and churches throughout the Portland area.
