Jonathan Peyton Shares Deeply Personal New Album: “How We’ve Come So Far”

Single Release: “Bridges” – out July 18th 2025
Album Launch: “How We’ve Come So Far” – out August 15th 2025

At The Rugged Revival, we’re proud to support independent artists who are doing things their own way, and Jonathan Peyton is a shining example of what that looks like when done with heart, purpose, and perseverance.

Jonathan, alongside his wife Abigail, manages every single part of their musical journey. From writing their own press material to handling social media, bookings, releases and promotions. They are a two-person team carving out their own lane in the music world. And they’re doing it with grace, talent, and humility.

An Inspiration for Independent Artists Everywhere

In an industry that often leans on big budgets and external teams, Jonathan and Abigail are showing what’s possible with vision, work ethic, and a love for the craft. And yet, despite the DIY nature of their operation, they’ve already reached heights that most artists only dream of, including a breathtaking live performance at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, opening for none other than Zach Bryan.

That moment wasn’t just a milestone - it was a statement. A reminder that authenticity, great songwriting, and persistence still matter. And it’s why their upcoming album, “How We’ve Come So Far”, feels like such a triumph before it’s even landed.

A Record About Growth, Gratitude, and Grace

This album, as Jonathan beautifully puts it, is a journey through life’s ups and downs - a reflective piece that explores how our experiences shape who we are:

“It’s about acknowledging growth and being grateful for moving forward. It’s about how each experience we have is part of who we are. Some of those experiences are great and some are painful, but they are a part of us. Changing one part of our story could completely change who we are. This album is about embracing our story, every part of it.”

It’s this vulnerability and honesty that makes the Peytons' music resonate with so many people. They’re not just writing songs -  they’re telling stories, living them, and inviting us along for the ride.
