With The Late Show with Stephen Colbert having recently come to a close after more than a decade on air, Jon Lampley is stepping fully into the spotlight with Notes To Self, his sophomore solo album, out today. After 11 years as a core member of the show’s house band, the album serves as a deeply personal statement and marks Lampley’s arrival as a frontman, pairing introspective songwriting with the virtuosity, joy, and communal energy that have defined his career. Produced by Lampley, The Diner (Jordan Cohen, Clyde Lawrence, Jonny Koh), and Michael Thurber, Notes To Self showcases his extraordinary musical vision, a rare blend of technical mastery, boundless creativity, and soulful expression.
