…there’s no other way to put it.

So says the Jason P. Woodbury. Nice little article in the Phoenix New Times, ahead of Jon’s gig at the Crescent Ballroom, in said city on the 26th.

Being a marketable musician.

There’s an article up on the Electronic Musician website in their Master Class tutorial section entitled “Being a marketable musician means broadening your skill set – and mindset.”

Well playing the pedal steel, banjo, Hawaiian, standard guitar etc etc. There’s a certain person fits right in with having both a broad skill and mind set.

Check out the article for what Jon has to say about it all.

Electronic Musician

Jon features in an article in “Electronic Musician” magazine about “side men”.

In his own words it’s a bona fide magazine not just on line, so check it out at your nearest news stand/agent/seller, as I can’t find it on the mag’s site.

Grant Robinson is on a “journey across the U.S. in a classic car, seeking out the American experience through music”.

He recently caught up with Jon in Phoenix and recorded a few videos where Jon talks about the current state of the music biz, plays a bit of slide (below) and has a look under the hood of said classic car – 1961 Ford Falcon.

Grant’s blog of his travels is Straight-Six Blues

Don Windham's Haymaker Guitars

Jon says “everyone needs to check out” Don Windham’s Haymaker Guitars shop.

Yup to go with the great guitars Don makes – see the Haymaker Haynnifer in the gear section – he now buys, sells and repairs stringed instruments in his own shop. This is where Jon got “my newest favorite guitar from him: 1961 Harmony Hollywood archtop”.

So head along to:

So make sure you tune in and also check other talk show listings as other appearances are coming up.

Sitting In With Les Paul

Jon has piece on the Fretboard Journal website recounting the day he got to sit in and play with the legendary Les Paul at the Iridium in NYC on September 10th 2007.

Read the piece at The Fretboard Journal and see the pictures on this site here.

He’s a lucky old bugger that Rauhouse ain’t he

The tour dates that weren't.

Some of you eagle eyed viewers out there might have spotted three Neko Case tour dates up in the “On Tour” section of the site, which have now disappeared.

Well the dates are still going ahead but Jon isn’t part of the band, so I’ve taken them down. You can get the information from Neko’s site, so get along and support great live music even if it is Rauhouseless

Jon has been hired, along with Tom V. Ray and Barry Mirochnick – Kelly Hogan and Paul Rigby are playing with Neko – by Jakob Dylan for his upcoming tours. So he’s currently rehearsing for those shows. I’ll get the dates up as soon as I get ‘em.

In the words of the man himself…

Neko band was going to take a bunch of time off so its great to be employed.

Jon has also uploaded a video of himself playing with Joey Burns & John Convertino (of Calexico) in Tacoma, which I’m just about to add to the site.

Haymaker – Haynnifer

Toxic Web — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:45:38 +0000

Jon’s new bit of guitar gear is up in the “Gear” section.

It’s a square neck acoustic made by Roberto-Venn guitar building instructor and all round top bloke Don Windham under his Haymaker brand. A pretty damn fine looking piece of kit with name of Jon’s good lady wife inlaid into the fretboard.
