Jon has played alongside John Renbourn, Blind Boy Paxton, Michael Chapman, Jon Gomm, Wizz Jones, Dylan LeBlanc, Chance McCoy, Charlie Parr, Tré Burt, and shared a stage and many more, at venues as varied as New York's Bitter End Club, Preservation Hall New Orleans, and Liverpool's Echo Arena.

KIKI ANNETTE

If you listen very carefully, Kiki Annette can be heard wailing and dragging guitar cases across the world like the ghost of a murdered Victorian child. Made in the Netherlands, matured in Berlin and the UK, she has been given many honorary titles over the years. “Manchester’s Phoebe Bridgers,” “the mayor of the Berlin busking community,” “an artist Leonard Cohen would’ve envied”, or her favourite: “that girl with the voice.” Her favourite sources of inspiration are despair and French Cinema, so tears aren’t mandatory but much appreciated. With captivating lyrics, a uniquely warm voice and intricate instrumental work the listener tends to find her difficult to forget. Kiki focuses on honest, melancholy folk noir with a self aware and slightly humorous twist.

Her debut self-produced record, created and mixed at the highly acclaimed Famous Gold Watch studios at Berlin is set for release later this year.
