Jon Allen - Artist of the Month

Jon Allen is no stranger to Caffè Nero. We have been playing his music for 14 years, and he has played numerous times in our cafes, festival stages and showcases. So, we are particularly pleased that he has just released a new album entitled Seven Dials, which is where one of our first stores is located!

Jon is a London based singer, songwriter and producer, who is influenced by the classic sound of British bands like Free and The Faces, with a lyrical nod to the songwriting of Van Morrison and Elton John. A gifted songwriter with a soulful, whisky-soaked voice that has become his trademark, Allen's career took off with his critically acclaimed album Dead Man’s Suit, which led to an appearance on BBC's ‘Later with Jools Holland’. This exposure opened doors for syncs with TV, ad campaigns, films, and radio. 

Allen has a worldwide listenership across all platforms, amassing over 40 million streams on Spotify. He tours with his band, The Luna Kings.  His seventh album Seven Dials, inspired by the seedy underworld of 18th century London, was released in May 2025.

You can hear tracks by Jon every afternoon at 15.30 for 15 minutes in all our UK stores.
