About
JON BURDEN
“From singing at community concerts in England as a child to sharing stages with Juno and Grammy award–winning artists, Jon Burden's lifelong journey with music has been nothing short of extraordinary. Inspired early on by blues legends like Freddie King and Willie Dixon, Jon knew he was destined to make music his life’s work. Since the 70s, he’s logged countless miles, worn out more than a dozen vehicles chasing gigs, and built a reputation as a powerhouse blues guitarist with a knack for country pickin’. Whether it’s blues, roots, or country, Jon’s playing carries the heart and soul of decades spent living for the music.”
