About Jon Hunt
Jon is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist from London.
His music, though often described as ‘quintessentially English’ is eclectic in style ranging from alternative rock and power-pop to ballads, vocal and acoustic guitar to progressive rock and psychedelia.
Jon released three albums during the period 2008-2013 followed by a compilation album ‘Morning Sun’ (2015) and the ‘Emergency Call EP’ in 2019.
His albums hark back to the time when the ‘album’ was thought of as an artform in itself. A lot of thought goes into the sequencing of tracks and the lyrical and musical concepts right down to the physical CD artwork.
Jon’s long-awaited fourth solo album ‘An Explosion Of Nothing’, which started taking shape in 2016(!), is available for pre-order now HERE AT BANDCAMP.
Previously, in Spring 2018, Carcrash Casino was formed as a vehicle for the (arguably) more commercial side of Jon’s music. The debut Carcrash Casino album ‘No-one Knows More About Carcrash Casino Than I Do’ was finally released in December 2020 to extremely enthusiastic reviews.
Jon is also the bass player in Salad - the currently dormant nineties band. He also is sometime dep bass player in The Smyths - the world’s finest tribute to The Smiths.
Live shows usually consist of Jon playing stripped down versions of his songs on guitar and keyboard. Dates will appear on the news page of this site.
