In addition to playing bass and providing lead and backing vocals from time to time, Jon handles all other things various and sundry for the band.  

Jon started playing bass when he was 12 and has been influenced by everything from Motown to metal. After his first backyard gig at age 16, Jon has played classic rock, blues, metal, 80s and 90s alternative, acoustic rock and funk in numerous original and cover bands over the years.    

He has also provided bass lines for an original acoustic CD and recorded demos with two of his former bands. 

Currently, he studies with professional bassist Anthony Wellington of The Victor Wooten Band and continues to write his own originals on acoustic guitar.  At some point in the future, his EP titled "Scenes from a Kitchen Floor" will be recorded and released.
