Jon Cleary
Jon (* 1962 in Cranbrook/Great Britain) is an American funk and R&B musician
based in New Orleans, LA. He attended Colliers Green Primary School, Angley Secondary
and then Cranbrook School. His father played guitar, but it was his uncle, returning
from trips to America bringing recordings of Professor Longhair and others, who
inspired his love for R&B. Jon's focus was always more on art and music, so he
left schooling behind to develop a life in music.
Jon performs with a number of prolific musicians including Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, B.B. King, Ryan Adams, and Eric Burdon. Jon's compositions have been recorded by such notable musicians as Taj Mahal, Bonnie Raitt, and John Scofield on his album 2009 Piety Street. Jon's current band is Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, who have released two albums. Their album Go Go Juice won the Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Music Album in 2016. from Wikipedia |
