NEXT SHOW - Jon Shain & FJ Ventre
Show Cancelled
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. In 2019, Jon won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN in the solo/duo category. He has shared the stage with Keb Mo, John Hiatt and Jackson Browne. This is Jon's 3rd visit to Deer Creek as he has always been a crowd favorite. If you love acoustic Piedmont Blues, this show is for you.
FJ Ventre began playing music with Jon in 1982 when they met in high school and have developed a brotherly connection that continues to this day. FJ play the stand-up bass and sings harmony with Jon. In addition to performing as a sought-after sideman, he spends his time behind the mixing board, engineering at his own Good Luck Studio In Chapel Hill, NC. With Jon, they have become sought-after producers in the folk/Americana genre, producing several charting Folk albums in the last few years.
