Jon Hebert is a New Orleans author and musician. UL Press published his comedy memoir Hear This! A Twisted Tale of Sonic Torment in 2026. His spy thriller The Gemstone Peridot and the dark comic noir You’ve Got To Be Killing Me! are both in the New Orleans Public Library system. He has been featured in the New Orleans Library’s Renewed anthology, and the Patty Friedmann Writing Contest anthology. A lifelong musician, Jon has released three albums of original roots and rock music and has been reviewed in New Orleans’ renowned Offbeat Magazine. He lives in New Orleans with his girlfriend and their blind cat, who edits most of his work.

Offbeat Magazine has this to say about Jon’s record Flash In The Pan:

“Songwriter and guitarist Jon Hébert doesn’t write songs with a specific genre in mind—he just writes them and lets ’em fall where they may. Besides Hébert’s guitar playing and situational-rooted songwriting, his ability to craft and develop tracks that build upon their momentum is what makes Flash in the Pan worthy of repeated listens.”

Offbeat Magazine also has this to say about Jon’s debut album Bayou Wild:

“Bayou Wild moves effortlessly through a plethora of genres. No matter if it’s the Americana sounds of ‘Windy River’ (which features Hebert on mandolin), the horn laden ‘Landmark Hotel,’ or the Louisiana roots-rock of ‘Henriette Delille,’ Hebert is clearly comfortable working in different musical landscapes.”

Reedsy Discovery has this to say about Jon’s spy thriller The Gemstone Peridot:

“Murder. Spies. Assassins. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It was one of the most thrilling mystery books I have read in a while, and Jon Hebert does an excellent job of weaving the story together from a multitude of perspectives. Only pick it up if you have plenty of time though—once I started reading this book I did not want to put it down!”
