Jon Spear is a Central Virginia musician and songwriter who performs regularly with both the Jon Spear Band and Old Soul (a duo of Jon and Dara James), as well as a solo artist. His latest project is his debut solo EP featuring six original songs in the Americana style, with a release date of August 21, 2019. Spear’s journey to musical maturity started in the early 1950s singing in his church choir and sharing evenings with his family around an old tube radio listening to big band music and radio serials. That was soon followed by rockabilly, rock ‘n’ roll, doo-wop, blues and R&B. Spear got his first guitar when he was 11 and had the thrill of a young boy’s life when his precocious high school band opened for the Isley Brothers at Port Chester NY’s famed Capitol Theatre back when “Twist & Shout” was a nationwide hit. During the social upheaval of the 1960s, Spear pursued his talent for songwriting as he discovered the power of music to foment change and address important social issues. He later studied classical guitar which helped him perfect his gift for fingerpicking in the Piedmont blues style. If you also take into account Spear’s long successful career in government and public affairs, you’ll understand why it is difficult to pigeonhole his lyrics and writing style.
