Jon rose to prominence on the British bues circuit in the early nineties as one of two guitarists in the trail-blazing blues band from Wiltshire, THE HOAX. The band toured the UK, Europe and North America before disbanding in 1999 with four successful albums and a string of awards to their name. Over the following decade, Jon went on to become a singer-songwriter in his own right, releasing two ground-breaking albums of self-penned songs with his band AMOR. Jon's 2006 release "Unknown Soldier" was endorsed by a guest appearance from the legendary Robert Plant. In 2011 he formed JON AMOR BLUES GROUP, a high energy, dynamic blues rock outfit that toured Europe extensively and produced two highly acclaimed studio albums. The reformation of The Hoax then brought two new albums to a grateful audience: 2013's "Big City Blues", a collection of originals written and recorded in California, and 2014's "Recession Blues: A Tribute To BB King". Amor can often be seen performing with THE BOOM BAND, an all-star British blues supergroup, of which he is a founder member. Late 2018 saw Jon release new album ‘Colour In The Sky’ to great reviews. We are lucky to be able to welcome Jon to play at Sittingbourne’s friendly neighbourhood blues club for an intimate evening of Jon and guitar for our first solo acoustic event.
