ABOUT THE BAND

Jon Roger Band: Sound, Authenticity, and Virtual Connection

Jon Roger Band brings powerful influences to alternative rock, like Audioslave, Silverchair, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots, but with a unique identity incorporating Brazilian elements inspired by Sepultura’s boldness. Formed by Lucas Poltronieri (vocals), Carone Netto (composer), and multi-instrumentalist/producer Ricardo Mendes, aka “Cachalote,” the band emerged in early 2024 with a rich and authentic musical vision.

Their name honors David "Jon" Gilmour and George "Roger" Waters, in a tribute similar to Syd Barrett’s when naming Pink Floyd. With captivating lyrics and enveloping melodies, Jon Roger Band celebrates the legacy of these iconic figures.

Initially adopting a collaborative, virtual approach like Gorillaz, the band explored genres like pop rock before solidifying their style in alternative/punk rock. This shift led them to remove earlier tracks from platforms, such as the romantic pop song *Sheila* (with over 170,000 Spotify plays), which no longer represented their current sound.

Jon Roger Band is building a solid listener base across the Americas, using trilingual communication and focusing on digital platforms like Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok. Welcomed with enthusiasm from the start, the band now aims to solidify its brand and transform listeners into loyal fans, committed to delivering authenticity and quality at every stage of their journey.
