JD Eicher (born July 27, 1986) is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and novelist from the Youngstown, Ohio area.

[3] Eicher experimented with different guitar and vocal accompaniment styles, and eventually wrote and debuted his first song while attending Canfield High School.

[17] Eicher cites as influences bands known for their lyrics ranging from Jackson Browne and The Beatles to Death Cab for Cutie.

[21] The following year, Eicher signed to Rock Ridge Music, home to Steve Forbert, Sister Hazel, Reel Big Fish, among others, for a record and management deal.

"...pretty and poppy and flowing, the songs are best enjoyed by people who like carefully drawn lyrics," said the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

[24] Sparks and Eicher completed a series of United States bookstore appearances, the former signing the Two By Two book, the latter performing songs from the EP.

[32][33] This album was released in accompaniment to Eicher's first novel, titled The Lights Along Majesto, which was inspired by touring with Nicholas Sparks six years prior.

This event, which was created in 2015 and has been held in Eicher's hometown area of Youngstown, Ohio since 2017, features regional and national performers and benefits local charities.

[12][45][46][47][48][49] As a solo artist and with the Goodnights, Eicher has opened for or shared billing with Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Hot Chelle Rae, Pete Yorn, Anberlin, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Maroon 5, Sister Hazel, Kelly Clarkson, Matt Nathanson, Train, Cartel, and Matt White, and others.
