For over 20 years, Jonas Woods has immersed himself in the music industry, a journey that began with fronting the band Farewell June. Those early years were a whirlwind of national tours, MTV and VH1 airplay, and even writing music for NBC and CW. While those experiences laid the foundation for my career, my musical path has evolved. I'm now a modern folk and blues artist, exploring whatever musical avenue captures my interest. Beyond music, my greatest joy and ministry is my family: my wife, Becky, and our two boys, Hunter and Liam. We tour together full-time, coast to coast, sharing life and music. Second only to my family, my passion lies in ministry, where I strive to instill hope, share love and laughter, and remind people of their identity and potential in Christ, encouraging them to embrace His purpose for their lives.

We're excited to welcome Jonas and Becky back to lead worship for Brethren Conference.
