Faster than a speeding bullet..... It’s a bird?.... It’s a plane?.... NO it’s Superman!.... And with that phrase, generation after generation became familiar with Superman. The man that men want to be and that women wanted to be with, but ironically with all the world’s powers the one thing Superman struggled with most wasn’t villains, but rather finding and keeping love...This simple analogy of the man who could do almost anything and seemingly had it all at his finger tips is exactly how one might describe Jaron of Jaron and The Long Road to Love. Jaron on the surface looms larger than life. He’s handsome to the point of having been voted one of, “People’s Most Beautiful 50 People,” he’s dated Hollywood starlets, he’s charismatic and his songs having sold millions of records and yet he also longs to find and keep love?.... In the lore of American fiction and the love of the American dream, our greatest novels feature men who rise and fall and after a brush with humility – they rise again. Jaron is exactly this form of protagonist only rather than fiction his is a story of real life experiences. His new album ..Getting Dressed in The Dark.. is as much a diary into the trial and tribulations of new love turned sour, as it is exhibition in self awareness. So why is Jaron making a comeback into music with this kind of brutal honesty shared with the world? Aren’t we supposed to keep our diaries hidden in places no one can find? Jaron tried to hide, but it did nothing for him or anyone else any good and it dawned on him, .... “What’s the point of writing songs that just serve me? In reality we’re all a lot more similar than we sometimes want to admit and if something has affected me, chances are, it has affected others. Maybe my experiences can help comfort someone by knowing that they’re not alone, because someone else out there too thinks the same way they do.”
