"Who is Jon Tyler Wiley? (of Jon Tyler Wiley & His Virginia Choir)"

“I went from playing Sister Hazel and Tonic songs in cover bands to being in lineups alongside those guys… the boat has been so special to me - I befriended the woman who is now on The Boat, I have so many friends that i’ve met from that community…”

- Jon Tyler Wiley on his first TRB experience, shortly after joining Melodime.

Jon Tyler Wiley, of Jon Tyler Wiley & His Virginia Choir, joins The BoatCast to talk all things Rock Boat and his new release, The Longing.

Jon reminisces the wild ride he had with Melodime on TRB and after TRB XX wondering if it was going to be his last boat. He recalls the joy of getting the call from Trae to be on TRB XXI. He talks the excitement of bringing his longtime friends from The Virginia Choir into the TRB community - and recalls watching Switchfoot with Thomas, his high school bandmate who used to cover Switchfoot songs - and the excitement of getting called up on stage by Jon Foreman to sing Hey Jude.

Jon talks his excitement about the upcoming Texafied JamFest (tickets just went on sale on 4/1 - reminder that tickets sell out fast, but one way to secure them and support a great cause are to sponsor the event. While there, he has challenged BoatCast Mark to a Torchy’s taco eating challenge in November while on a subsequent Podcast.

If you havent already checked out Jon’s new album, The Longing, you are missing out! The album has been 4 years in the making but is worth the wait… The BoatCast purchased three vinyls and you can get your copy and other cool merch here.
