Armed with foot percussion, a National Reso-phonic Guitar and Lowebow cigar-box reso-hillharp, Big Jon Short’s high energy solo performances bring a foot-stomping show that taps into the heart of the songs, regional styles, and folklore of the blues and its importance to American music. Based in the Northeast US, he travels and performs between 150-200 shows per year in BBQ joints, breweries, blues rooms and festivals from Massachusetts to Mississippi.
