Ask JONATHAN TIERSTEN what type of music he performs on his new EP, We’ll See (Edward Records), and the Colorado-based singer/songwriter and actor quickly responds that it’s roots music with an edge. Tiersten has performed a variety of music over the years, but on We’ll See, he offers an earthy blend of roots rock, folk-rock and adult alternative pop-rock that is at once contemporary and timeless.

“People I’ve never even met before have told me, ‘You have this knack for writing songs that I could see myself listening to 20 years down the line,’” Tiersten explains. “I want to write songs that are like John Huston’s films, which hold up well over time and never become dated. I think that the more honest you are in what you write, the greater the odds are that what you write is going to be timeless. Honest emotion doesn’t have a half-life; neither should honest songwriting.”

Meantime, Jonathan has beenselected to join the growing ranks of featured artists such as Paul Rodgers, Rosanne Cash, George Winston, Glenn Hughes, Dee Snider in ARTISTS SUPPORT JAPAN, the new YouTube and Facebook channel launched to raise funds for victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami  by veteran artist manager Alan Niven (Guns ‘N Roses, Great White) and long-time ad man Alan Niven, president of Saatchi & Saatchi in Japan for many years.
 
As an actor, Tiersten is perhaps best known as the teen star of the cult classic "Sleepaway Camp" and soon, as a serial killer in "The Perfect House."
