Jon Stickley Trio

"Sure, comparisons to previous musicians are a good way to explain a new artist to the masses, but to do so is to cheat Stickley of what he really is... a damn genius, a musical mastermind, and one of the most unique, creative, and inventive guitar players I've ever heard. Since bluegrass players started delving into jazz, they've been composing progressive acoustic music, but so much of it has lacked the comfort in its own skin that Stickley's songs possess. I could go on and on about how amazing it is that his twisty and turny songs don't feel forced, and always bob and weave at the right time; or how Stickley's guitar playing shares as much in common with the flow of the greatest rappers of all time as it does with his flatpicking heroes..." -Anders Beck (Greensky Bluegrass) Genre-defying, explosive instrumental trio, who’s deep grooves, innovative flatpicking, and sultry-spacy violin move the listener’s head, heart, and feet.
