Event information
Now just standing tickets available.
Jon Gomm, based in Leeds, is an acoustic singer-songwriter with a revolutionary virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, bass lines and twisting melodies all at the same time. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and song writing, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead.
His live shows combine deeply personal performances and a natural wit, with a once seen-never-forgotten two-handed guitar style, both physical and complex, producing sounds people can barely believe are coming from a humble acoustic guitar.
Nowadays, Jon tours worldwide. In January 2012 the song Passionflower went viral online, with the video passing 3 million hits, resulting in national TV appearances in the UK, Portugal, Holland and Turkey, and plaudits from new celebrity fans, such as:
"Wonderful to watch. Genius." - Stephen Fry
"I love your work and style so much. You are very special" - Jon Anderson (Yes)
"Wonderful playing and singing" - David Crosby (Crosby, Stills and Nash)
"Hands down the most amazing guitarist I have ever seen!" - Tommy Lee (Motley Crue)
