**Jaron David Lowenstein** (born March 18, 1974) is an American singer who formerly recorded with his [identical twin](/source/Identical_twin) brother, Evan, in the musical duo [Evan and Jaron](/source/Evan_and_Jaron). As **Jaron and the Long Road to Love**, he released his debut [single](/source/Single_(music)), "Pray for You" to country radio in November 2009. This song reached the top 15 on the *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* [Hot Country Songs](/source/Hot_Country_Songs) charts, and is included on the album *[Getting Dressed in the Dark](/source/Getting_Dressed_in_the_Dark)*. The second single, "That's Beautiful to Me", was released in September 2010.

## Life and career

Lowenstein was born in [Tucker, Georgia](/source/Tucker,_Georgia), the son of Leslie (née Diamond) and Charles Lowenstein. He was raised in an [Orthodox Jewish](/source/Orthodox_Judaism) family, and attended [Greenfield Hebrew Academy](/source/Greenfield_Hebrew_Academy) and [Yeshiva High School](/source/Yeshiva_Atlanta) (which have since merged to form the [Atlanta Jewish Academy](/source/Atlanta_Jewish_Academy))[2][3] Through his mother, he is related (by marriage) to actor [Logan Lerman](/source/Logan_Lerman).[4] In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Lowenstein recorded with his [identical twin](/source/Identical_twin) brother, Evan, in the [pop](/source/Pop_music) duo [Evan and Jaron](/source/Evan_and_Jaron).[5] Evan and Jaron charted three [singles](/source/Single_(music)), including "[Crazy for This Girl](/source/Crazy_for_This_Girl)," which reached number 15 on the [*Billboard* Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100) charts in 2000.[6] The duo split up in 2003 so that Evan could focus on raising his family.[5]

Jaron co-wrote and recorded his first solo single, "[Pray for You](/source/Pray_for_You_(Jaron_and_the_Long_Road_to_Love_song))", as Jaron and the Long Road to Love in late 2009.[7] Starting in February 2010, [Big Machine Records](/source/Big_Machine_Records) assumed promotion of the single and a forthcoming album, which was distributed through a partnership of Jaron's Jaronwood label and [Universal Republic](/source/Universal_Republic).[8] The song reached the top 40 on the *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* [Hot Country Songs](/source/Hot_Country_Songs) chart and the [*Billboard* Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100).

Jaron told [Technorati](/source/Technorati) that the song "wasn't started or pushed by some major label or organization. I would love to take the credit for its success, but honestly this is something fans want and they are the ones calling radio to have them play it."[9] Hank Friedmann directed a [music video](/source/Music_video) for the song, which has aired on [CMT Pure Country](/source/CMT_Pure_Country) (CMT Pure) and [Great American Country](/source/Great_American_Country) (GAC).[10] A second video, which includes [Jaime Pressly](/source/Jaime_Pressly), debuted in April 2010.[11]

His debut album, *Getting Dressed in the Dark*, was released on June 22, 2010.[12] The album's second single is "That's Beautiful to Me", which debuted on the country chart at number 59 in September 2010.

In early 2011, Lowenstein parted ways with [Big Machine Records](/source/Big_Machine_Records) and [Republic Nashville](/source/Republic_Nashville). Despite leaving the label, a third single from *Getting Dressed in the Dark*, "It's a Good Thing", was released on April 18, 2011, with promotion from Nine North Records. However, the single failed to chart.

On May 31, 2011, Lowenstein released "Beautiful Lies", which features [Big Kenny](/source/Big_Kenny), one-half of the [country music](/source/Country_music) duo [Big & Rich](/source/Big_%26_Rich). The song is the lead-off single to Lowenstein's second album. The song also failed to chart.

In 2011, eleven songs were released as a self-titled album by the band Cordovas. The band is made out of [Joe Firstman](/source/Joe_Firstman), Jaron Lowenstein, Jon Loyd, Johnny Gray, Parker Gins and Toby Weaver. The album was made available as a free download on the band's official website [13] as well as other traditional paying outlets.

The songs "Old Dog" and "All I Found" had videos released online.
