Jon Gomm
“The most inspiringvirtuoso guitar performance it has ever been my pleasure to witness... with a
voice to die for”
Drowned in Sound
Jon
Gomm is a singer-songwriter and acoustic solo performer who discovered all
kinds of new sounds he could make with an acoustic guitar – hitting the surface
of it to make snare drum, bass drum and bongo sounds, re-tuning the strings to
get bass sounds and teasing high harmonics from the guitar for synthesizer-like
effects.
He
worked all these techniques into his own songs and put his years of singing
blues into use. The emphasis is still on
the soulful vocals and songwriting however and his original material is
influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead, Roni Size to Prince.
He
began to get high-profile gigs supporting some of the most-respected names on
the acoustic circuit such as Tommy Emmanuel (Australia), Nick Harper and Bob
Brozman (U.S.). He has performed at many
festivals including The Italian National Guitar Festival and The London Guitar
Show at Wembley.
Nowadays he tours Europe, playing at festivals from Rometo Athens,
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. Even with only
one CD so far released he is already cited as an influence by many other
performers. His videos are watched thousands of times within days of appearing
on Youtube, and his home-recorded CD “Hypertension” has sold many thousands of
copies with no industry backing and the second "Don't Panic" was released this December. He is now sponsored by Takamine and appears around the
UKat their numerous guitar master classes.
“Sheer
bloody genius… sublime, impassioned songwriting” Sandman Magazine
”One of the world's
most successful, gifted and inspirational guitar players” Acoustic Magazine
“If
you closed your eyes there’d be an ensemble playing... A huge emotional range,
swinging between sentimental and just plain mental. This is style and content,
solo work at its best”
LeedMusicScene.com
“This
guy has it all - great heartfelt vocals, inspired and original songs, and
guitar playing as good as you will ever hear. The new Hendrix.” ReviewCentre.com
