Last year, the seemingly inexhaustible lead singer of Switchfoot, Jon Foreman, released the second four-EP project of his career, called The Wonderlands. The four EPs, Darkness, Dawn, Shadows, and Sunlight, track the hours of the day and explore a variety of themes. As if such a project were not already ambitious enough, Foreman decided to celebrate the project by playing 25 shows within 24 hours in his hometown of San Diego. This musical experience took place between October 24th and 25th of 2017, and a film crew was there to capture the action. For those of us fans not able to be there for such a momentous occasion, we can now experience it through the film 25 in 24, an hour long documentary just released.
Jon Foreman has long been a personal hero of mine, but it’s particularly inspiring to watch him play shows at various spots in San Diego that relate to his own personal journey and community, and to rally a group of fellow artists and fans together around music. Watching Jon live out his gift and his passion feels like a boost in the arm for my own creative efforts.
