About

Jon Cocker plays dark, full alternative/folk acoustic music.  He grew up in Sheffield (UK) and played in bands in Leeds and Norwich, inspired by artists such as the Allman Brothers.  He now focuses on solo acoustic music, using his band experience to develop a full guitar sound, playing at festivals in several cities, including Wild Paths in Norwich alongside the likes of José González.  He also enjoyed a brief stint as an international artist with a gig in Japan.  Performing regularly in Leeds, Sheffield and surrounding areas, Jon often dazzles the audience with incomprehensible mumbling between songs.  His first EP (‘Jon Cocker’) has been likened to John Martyn, Nick Drake and Neil Young, and captures all the emotion possible in this age of time pressures and distraction.
