Jon Gomm

25 Aug 2012   18:45 to 19:30

Jon Gomm has an incredible virtuoso guitar style, he uses an acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and sparkling melodies all at the same time. He hits the surface of his guitar to make percussion sounds, he re-tunes his strings to get bass and high harmonics for synthesizer-like effects. He combines styles from blues and jazz to rock and pop, with soulful songwriting and vocals.
Jon first started playing when he was two and wrote his first song when six years old. On leaving school he turned down a place at Oxford University to attend The Guitar Institute in London then studied on the Jazz degree course at Leeds College of Music.

Nowadays he tours Europe, playing at festivals internationally. Jon has a huge cult following and is regarded by those in the know as one of the world’s most talented and innovative acoustic guitarists.
