www.agsilver.com/fanfunding To all of our Friends and Fans: We’ve been at this music gig awhile now and have experienced many joys and many trials. We’ve reached the point in which we cannot easily supply the sheer up front costs of putting together a top notch record, and so, we look to you our loyal fans, friends, family and newcomers to the AG circle for a small token of faith in our work, an offering to support this endeavor we love and a commitment to help us with the next phase of our journey.

Huge thanks to everybody who came out to the New Music Preview show on Oct 28 in GR. The show was really special to us as we debuted 10 brand new, never heard before tunes and everybody in attendance made the night special. So thanks! Thanks for singing along to songs you’ve never heard before! Thanks for laughing WITH US as we awkwardly shared random thoughts about the new tunes. And thanks for being patient with me (Jon) as I shared some honest reflections on songs and life. Continue reading

By Terry Deboer | The Grand Rapids Press Modern rock band AG Silver is coming out of an extended hibernation. But the group is not emerging empty handed. “It’s been two years since our last local show,” said lead singer and co-founder Jon Ornee, 30, in an interview from his Holland office. “But we’ll have 10 new songs at this one, and we can’t wait to get back out there.” They will also mix in fan favorites such as “Now or Never.” The band — Ornee, guitarist Chris McKellar, drummer Craig Vanderwier and bassist Josh Blom — have spent time off the road regathering creative energy to produce new music.

Friday, October 28 @ 8pm – Ladies Literary Club* (61 Sheldon SE – Grand Rapids, MI) – Please join us for this very special, intimate showcase concert. We’ll be debuting 10 new songs from our upcoming album that we’ve never played Live before! It’ll be a great chance to get fan feedback on the new tunes before we head into the Studio this winter. This show will have a “storytellers” feel to it as we talk about the writing process and share stories about how and why certain songs were written. We’ll also have a ton of interactive, epic “sing along” opportunities. We’ll actually be recording the crowd at this show for inclusion on some of the more epic parts of certain songs that we refer to as “gang vocals”
. So be sure to come for your chance to be featured on the new album! Continue reading
After 4 years of steady touring we’ve taken almost 2 full years off from traveling to focus on what we love most – family and music. Don’t get me wrong, we love traveling and meeting new friends around the country, but alas a couple of us (Chris and Jon) started having babies and it seemed like a good time to park the Tour Bus (our beloved Rev) for a while. Our siesta from traveling also gave us a chance to step back and contemplate our next batch of songs which I believe will be our greatest collection to date… Continue reading
