About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
Jon Sousa is a guitarist based out of Boulder, Colorado best known for his love of Traditional Irish music, Solo Fingerstyle Guitar, and Rock music. Jon approaches the guitar with tenderness and a depth of feeling that is rare. In addition to performing solo, he also performs and tours with Colorado based fiddler Adam Agee and the Colorado based Latin-tribal rock band, Lunar Fire. Jon loves to assemble Celtic Duos, Trios, or bands for weddings and other private functions. Inspired by the guitar playing of Slash, Jon Sousa began rocking on the guitar at age of 11. His musical journey soon took him to the extremes of rock and metal, but not before a radical left turn into the world of electronic dance music production. After moving to Colorado in 2003, Jon fell deeply in love with Traditional Irish music and solo fingerstyle Guitar. Jon's passion and love for music have taken him all over the world from the beautiful countryside of France, studying with master fingerstyle guitar player Pierre Bensusan to Senegal, West Africa, studying Sabar Drumming and eventually deciding to move to Ireland in 2008 where he refined his skills in interpreting Irish music. He performs regularly with his Irish music duo, his psychedelic tribal rock band Lunar Fire, and with the shamanic journey/movie/rock show, The Portal. And every so often, you just may catch him dressed as Slash tearing it up with a Guns N' Roses tribute band. Jon has a Bachelors degree in Music from Naropa University in Boulder, CO and an Master's degree in Irish Traditional Music Performance from the University of Limerick in Ireland. Jon enjoys teaching anyone who is passionate to learn on acoustic/electric guitar, tenor banjo, and mandolin.
