Jon Muq - "Flying Away From Home"

Photo by Jim Herrington

Ugandan born, Austin, TX based artist Jon Muq has one single left before his Dan Auerbach released album is released next week. "Flying Away From Home" is the single that could very well break Muq to a mainstream audience. As with his previous singles, this new one has that broad appeal, but something about Muq just sets him apart from other artists. Some musicians just have that quality that draws a listener in and makes you pay attention. Muq has an abundance of that quality. I believe I say this with every single, but you're going to want to jump on the Jon Muq bandwagon now, because it's going to get full very soon.

You can watch the video for "Flying Away From Home" below. Flying Away is due out May 31 on Easy Eye Sound, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Jon Muq, check out the artist's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
