Join us for a special evening with singer/songwriter Jono Manson, along with a band featuring many of his long-time friends and collaborators:
Jono Manson is a prolific singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, master storyteller, and an accomplished audio engineer and producer, who started his first band at age seven and never looked back. During a storied career spanning over five decades he has played everywhere from the local dive to Madison Square Garden and has amassed an impressive discography that includes major label and indie releases on three continents. Jono has produced albums for Grammy winners and local heroes alike.
Born and raised in New York City, he has made his home in Santa Fe for the past 34 years and has put down deep roots in the local community. Manson's songs are diverse and genre-bending, drawing on roots, rock, soul, pop and country traditions as they paint vivid portraits of resilient characters standing tall in the face of time’s relentless march, and his performances are similarly determined, delivered with a passion and conviction that’s as honest as it is empathetic. Manson has shared the stage with Pete Seeger and backed up Bo Diddley. He has travelled to Pakistan as part of his long-standing collaboration with sindhi sufi/rock stars The Sketches, and played on an album by Dean Ween. He appeared in a Kevin Costner film, which used one of his songs as the central theme, and wrote the official song for his kid's elementary school. He has co-written with and produced albums for American Idol finalist Crystal Bowersox, John Popper, toured with Joan Osborne, and shepherded countless projects for local musicians.
