Jonny and his quintet will be showcasing his latest EP “Influences, consisting of 6 new original compositions, as well as performing a few tunes from his albums 'The Next Chapter' & 'Mellow Mind'.
Drawing from his roots in classical and jazz music, Jonny’s sound is also heavily influenced by electronic dance music genres such as Jungle, Breakbeat & House, and he blends these influences together in his writing, creating a very interesting and unique sound. Expect a fusion of soulful jazz harmony, luscious sound textures, lyrical guitar melodies, groovy basslines and intricate breakbeats.
