About The One And Only Jon Ham
The One And Only Jon Ham’s musical style is the sum of all the various musical styles he’s enjoyed listening to and performing throughout his life.
Growing up listening to They Might Be Giants, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, and Anthrax; then getting more into The Grateful Dead, Herbie Hancock, Medeski Martin & Wood, The Talking Heads, Parliament, and Stevie Ray Vaughn; and even further down the line finding a love of Umphrey’s McGee, The Slip, Frank Zappa, Freekbass, That One Guy, LCD Soundsystem, Andy Frasco & The UN, and MonoNeon; along with a mellow side affair with Beck, Nick Drake, Brad Barr, Claude Debussy, and Brian Eno.
This wide range of influences is reflected in the diverse genres of Jon’s original songs and performing styles. Some songs stick to one of the styles of one of his heroes, while some mix them together like a stew. Or a margarita. Click over to the videos section to get yourself a taste.
