Jon Egan is a worship leader and songwriter serving New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, who is best known for the songs “I Am Free,” “Overcome,” “Strong God,” “Make A Way” and “On The Throne.” In addition to serving on the New Life Worship team and recording numerous audio and video projects for the church, Jon is a co-founder and former leader of the student-focused Desperation Band with whom he has toured throughout the U.S. and around the world. Throughout his career, Jon has collaborated with a variety of writers, producers and artists including Jason Ingram, Jeremy Camp, Kari Jobe and Paul Baloche. His combined recordings with New Life and Desperation Band include the critically-acclaimed favourites Strong God, Counting On God, You Hold It All, Light Up The World, Center Of It All and Banner. Jon’s first solo recording, the live album Unveil, is available through Integrity Music at the end of March. “Worship is a weapon,” says Jon. “It stands in defiance of darkness to sing about such a great and marvellous light. When we sing about the greater reality of Jesus, earthly realities grow strangely dim.”
