July 14, 2023 (Nashville, TN) – Nashville based alternative singer songwriter Jonathan Cyphers drops his highly anticipated debut EP. With five tracks exploring a desire for human connection in the modern age, “The Comeback Kid” is one which will leave listeners feeling understood in their lowest moments and hopeful for the future.
Last year Cyphers teased the idea of the EP by creating a Kickstarter campaign to aid in creating awareness and raising funds. The New Hampshire native could never have imagined that in exactly a month he would raise over $15,000 for the project, which contains five thoughtfully crafted singles. The songs share a universal message of life, tension, and struggle. Cyphers does not simply use his music to express his pain, but, through a lens of faith, he seeks to find real, impactful, maybe even a little reckless hope in the midst of it all.

Co-produced by Jacob Stanifer (Xander Sallows, Marci Coleman) and Alex Zwart (For King & Country, NewsBoys) and penned by Cyphers, Stanifer, and Zwart, “The Comeback Kid” reminds listeners the importance of stillness in an ever moving society and brings a unique sense of optimism. The EP is an important message to all, encouraging fans to remember that they too are comeback kids, if they can rise above and embrace the challenge. The titular track “Comeback Kid” is a new age anthem that closes out the project with a lifting electric guitar solo from Ryan Johns (The Young Escape).
When asked his perspective, producer and co-writer Jacob Stanifer excitedly shares his experience. “It’s been really fun to work with Jonathan and watch his artistry and sound develop from the first songwriting sessions up to final production,” Stanifer shares. “I think Jonathan brings a really cool blend of nostalgic sweetness and modern edge with a sense of honesty that connects it all together. A lot of people will connect with Jonathan’s art because it’s real.”
“Each of the songs in this project carry their own unique message, but they are also united together in a larger conversation about life: the ups and downs, the struggles, the tension, and ultimately the hope to carry on,” begins Cyphers regarding his connection and hope with “The Comeback Kid”. “My desire is for the listener to feel seen and heard, maybe a little challenged, but also encouraged. Life has a way of knocking us down, but hope is the thing that keeps us getting up. If you are reading this or listening to these songs, you are a comeback kid, too. Even in the midst of the darkest, hardest moments, we can find hope to keep going. That’s the heart behind this project.”
