Jon Gomm
Jon Gomm is a singer-songwriter and acoustic solo performer based in Yorkshire, known for his once-seen-never-forgotten virtuoso guitar style. This involves slapping, tapping and retuning as he plays, producing a huge, multi-layered sound filled with bass, drums and near-orchestral depth and complexity, all from a single guitar.
His songs are often deeply emotive, whether with or without his soft, affecting voice. And his live performances are intimate and powerful, but always punctured by his natural North Of England wit and self-deprecation.
His breakthrough came in 2012, when he released his first ever single, 'Passionflower', along with a video of him performing the song, which went viral, totalling well over 20 million views across platforms.
Suddenly being catapulted from cult obscurity to mainstream acceptance has been a strange experience for someone so devoted to his craft, and Jon is an unlikely guitar hero who remains very much true to his roots in the UK acoustic circuit.
