“Jon Gomm is one of those artists that once you know you can never forget.... I first discovered him years ago whilst in the spawning of my musical journey. His method of writing music and creating melodies works so well I would say you are hard pressed to find a better musician in tune with his ability and creative mind. I have taken his music with me and it has helped to form the atmosphere of the spaces and places that I create. I hope it inspires you the same way it did me.”
Jon Gomm is an acoustic singer-songwriter with a revolutionary virtuoso guitar style: he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, bass lines, and twisting melodies all at the same time. While the musical performance is utterly unique and captivating, a strong emphasis remains on his soulful vocals and songwriting. Jon’s original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead.
His live shows combine deeply personal, emotive 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 his song Passionflower went viral online, with the video passing 6 million hits, resulting in national TV appearances in the UK, Portugal, Holland, Brazil and Turkey.
