Jon Amor Group

UK vocalist and guitarist Jon Amor, formerly of award-winning British band The Hoax, has joined forces with long-time collaborators Dave Doherty, Chris Doherty and Simon Small to form Jon Amor Blues Group. Drawing inspiration from the Blues greats of the past like Muddy Waters and Howlin\\\' Wolf, as well as more contemporary acts like Black Keys and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the group\\\'s sound is powerful, raw and uncompromising.

Having spent the last ten years honing his skills as a song-writer and solo performer, Amor returns to his blues roots with JABG and the band is the perfect vehicle for the guitar-playing which brought him to prominence with The Hoax during the nineties. Brothers Dave Doherty (guitar) and Chris Doherty (bass) and Simon Small (drums) have served in Amor\\\'s band for the last 5 years, appearing on the 2009 album "Stories From The Crooked Room", and bring a youthful exuberance as well as dynamic musicianship to Jon Amor Blues Group
