Jon Dawley is a dynamic musician who takes a fresh approach to both crowd-pleasing hits and lesser heard gems from across the decades.  Jon has a huge arsenal of classic rock and Americana, interspersed with favorites from jazz, folk, contemporary pop, and a bit of country.  A prolific songwriter as well, Jon’s originals entertain and inspire his audience.  While he plays a variety of instruments including mandolin, banjo, and bass, it is the acoustic guitar that Jon turns into a one-man band. With his passionate, percussive playing combined with a powerful, versatile voice, he always strives to captivate the ears and hearts of his listeners.  

 

Jon Dawley’s recorded originals and covers are available on SoundCloud.  His live performances take place in a wide variety of locations throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.  Jon is primarily a solo artist, but he is also occasionally joined by other artists for what is always guaranteed to be a lively blend of styles.  His upcoming performances can be found at Upcoming Shows.  Follow Jon on Bandsintown for regular updates.
