Jon Shain Biography

Hailing from Durham, NC, Jon Shain is a veteran singer-songwriter who's been turning heads for years with his words, his fiery acoustic guitar work, and his evolved musical style - combining improvised piedmont blues with bluegrass, swing, and ragtime. Shain is the 2019 winner of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN in the solo/duo category.

Jon has released nine solo albums to date, along with two albums with duo partner FJ Ventre, a Jon Shain Trio live album, and one album of co-writes with Joe Newberry. Shain's newest album, Restless Soul Syndrome, recorded at Good Luck Studio this past year, was released April 9, 2024. Shain is also the author of the music books Gettin' Handy With the Blues - a Tribute to the Legacy of W.C. Handy and Jon Shain's Fingerstyle Guitar Method, both published by Mel Bay Publications.
