JONT

Band Website available

"Emotional and earthy acoustic-based songs from a man with a voice that just deserves to be heard. Gritty and real, with just a touch of Van Morrison gruffness, the songs have a similar relation to Van the Man with definite touches of Springsteen circa The River. It's no surprise that this is a man who regularly packs out some of the country's most respected acoustic venues.(BrynR, peoplesound.com)" Jont has been the toast of In The City, Midem, and any other industry event he might have played at. But the real successes seem to come with his connection with his audience, with gigs such as the one in a mountain-top bar in the middle of Tuscany where he kept returning to the stage at the request of the enthusiastic student audience and ended up playing until three in the morning, and the gig at the Birmingham Songwriters' Festival where he persuaded a rather subdued early evening audience to provide backing vocals for his set to the utter amazement of the venue's staff. Those who saw recent movie The Wedding Crashers may recognise his song 'Sweetheart' from the credits.
