Jon Rauhouse News

Neko Case and her band played her great track “Red Tide” on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon November 17th.

Of course Jon was there hunched over his Epiphone Joe Pass, if you didn’t catch the show, or did and want to relive it again the video is up on the “Neko Case Tour Video” section of the site.

There’s also a bunch of “new” videos and pics up on the site the videos can be viewed on the site by just clicking the accompanying image and most of the pictures round the site can be enlarged by clicking them.

A few pics of the recent Jon Rauhouse Trio gig at the lost Leaf in Phoenix on October 27th have been added to the “Tour Pics” section of the site.

Jon’s there with his John Reuter Hawaiian guitar, along with Johnny Marston on bass, Tommy Connell on guitar with a guest appearance of Jennifer Rauhouse on banjo – Trio and Quartet two bands for the price of one.

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.

Jon is featured/interviewed in a couple of magazines coming up, or may even be out now.

So look out for him in British country mag Maverick Magazine and The Fretboard Journal. So check a newsstand near you or the sites for more details.

Also check out the “Tour Video” section of this site for a 10 track video of the recent Neko Case gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam (Holland), from September 19th 2009.

I met up with Jon at the recent gig in Glasgow, at the Oran Mor on Sept 7th, he was in top form as was Neko Case and her band – Jon, Paul Rigby, Barry Mirochnick, Tom V Ray & Kelly Hogan – who put on a great set, from the new album, “Middle Cyclone”, and some old favourites.

Some dark and blurry pics from side stage are up on the site in the “On Tour” “Tour Pics” section.

There’s also a couple of videos up on the site as well, both are from the soundcheck with Jon putting his pedal steel, Eastwood and Epiphone through their paces, along with a bit of Paul Rigby. It’s in the “Video” section of the “On Tour” pages.

The tour of the UK still has a number of dates to go so if you can get along and enjoy a great band play some top class music.

New pics are up in the “On Tour” section from the recent gig Jon did with his Quartet support Mark Pickerel and his Praying Hands in Seattle on December 28th at the Triple Door.

There’s a couple new videos and pictures added to the site of Jon in action with The Boxmasters on the just ended tour.

And yes in answer to the question posed in the post announcing Jon’s place on the tour he did have to get a fancy whistle but not only that he had to get a fancy barnet do as well.

Now I just have to figure out who he reminds me of, there’s a touch of the fried chicken Colonel, or maybe it’s Custer or is it a dead president. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Check out the On Tour section for them, one video you can’t see Jon but certainly can hear him.

Some new tour pics have been added to the site.

They include shots from the Jon Rauhouse Sestet tours of 2007 and 2008, along with pics from the 2008 Neko Case tour and from the recent Shining gig.
