Jonathan Plevyak is a retro minded rock & soul singer-songwriter living in Nashville, TN. Feeling burnt out by modern, fast paced digital pop culture, Plevyak started down a rabbit hole in late 2022 immersing himself in records and artists from the 50’s & 60’s. Pulling inspiration from the greats such as Elvis, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, & Billie Holiday, Plevyak wrote an entire record of songs that feel planted in that era. Plevyak assembled a crew of his talented friends in Nashville to make the record. Choosing to record the music live together in the same room, using vintage gear and microphones, the self produced album called “Made In The Shade” sounds like a vinyl record straight off the record store shelves in the 1950s . The first single “Wild, Love” will make it's debut in February, 2023 followed by releasing a consistent stream of vintage music, delivering high energy live shows across Music City, as well as a retro soaked social media branding style to evoke a lost time. 

Life is complicated for all of us these days. Plevyak wants to reach back and simplify. “It’s a time that’s cherished” he says. “Most of us weren’t alive to experience it”. “To try and bring it back In 2023 feels like a fun challenge”. He adds. “I’m asking the listener to join me on a little three minute journey to step back in time and just vibe”. 

Rooted in nostalgia, Plevyak’s music goal is to make you miss a time you never lived through. 

Plevyak also serves as the co-frontman of Nashville’s hard rock band Lombardy.

Lombardy is a Nashville-based rock band formed in early 2021. The group consists of Mike Scott (vocals/guitars), Jonathan Plevyak (vocals/guitars), Seth Rentfrow (vocals/bass), and Steve Mascarello (drums).

The band’s sound is drawn from all eras and flavors of rock with touches of alternative, blues, classic rock, grunge, and psychedelic. Lombardy captures the energy of today’s best live acts with the chops of seasoned veterans and the performance of an arena-bound staple. The band often records in the studio in one room, in one take, to capture more organic and authentic material.

Since their debut, they’ve been heavily featured on stations like Lightning 100, 102.9 The Buzz, as well as playlists like No Country for New Nashville, Spotify’s New in Rock, and more. They’ve performed at venues across the country including Nashville hot spots such as Basement East, Tomato Arts Festival, Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, 3rd and Lindsley, Eastside Bowl, and more.

Lombardy’s live show receives soaring reviews consistently as they continue to grow into hometown favorites building a faithful following. Lombardy also continues to grow their local community and rock scene by curating and hosting an alt/rock showcase called Music City Mosh Club, which can be attended quarterly at Eastside Bowl starting in 2025.

With new music out now, Lombardy plans to release new material in 2025, after inking a deal with Universal Music Group and Virgin Records’ newest team-up, East Iris Records.
