Jon Foreman will perform the final U-Church
concert of the semester on Sunday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Conn
Center.

In April 2009, Foreman was nominated for a Dove award for
Male Vocalist of the Year. A singer-songwriter and guitarist, Foreman is best
known for being the main songwriter, co-founder, and front man of the
alternative rock band Switchfoot. He has also worked with numerous other
artists on various projects and has four independent recordings of his own:
“Fall,” “Winter,” “Spring,” and “Summer.” In November 2014, Foreman
announced four additional independent recordings to be released this year:
“Sunlight,” “Shadows,” “Darkness,” and “Dawn.” His newest solo project, “The
Wonderlands,” will feature 24 songs, one for each hour of the day.

Over the years, Foreman has become known for his honest lyrics, highly
prolific song-writing, and his involvement in various humanitarian
endeavors. His organizational affiliations include Habitat for Humanity, The
ONE Campaign, Not For Sale, Invisible Children, Life Rolls On, and To Write
Love On Her Arms, in addition to Switchfoot’s annual Bro-Am Tournament, a
surfing event that raises money and awareness for homeless and at-risk
youth. One of Foreman’s favorite pastimes is surfing, and when not on tour,
he resides in Cardiff by the Sea, a small suburb of San Diego, California.

“Every moment is infinitely complex, wrought with context and
color, smell and taste, the fears and hopes of perspective that cannot be
captured by a microphone and a camera alone…. Music is time travel: to
experience it you actually travel through time with the art itself,” said
Foreman in a recent HuffPost article. “You and the musician are different
people when you finish than when you began.”
