Born and raised in the isolated Finnish-American communities of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Jonathan Rundman has been writing songs and performing across the country since he was 18 years old. He emerged on the national music scene in the late-90s as a Chicago-based touring artist, generating rave reviews in Billboard, The New York Times, Performing Songwriter, Paste, and countless regional publications. Now living in Minneapolis, he continues to tour and record. Jonathan's songs can be heard on radio stations across America, in Scandinavia and England, and have been featured on the Ellen Degeneres Show.
In 2012 Salt Lady Records released the 20-song retrospective album Jonathan Rundman collecting his best songs from the previous decade, plus remixes, alternate versions, and brand new songs.
Jonathan also records and performs with the Finnish-American folk duo Kaivama.
