I'd Like To Introduce You To An Artist Who Is Climbing Up The Ranks Of The Music Loving Masses.... He Goes By The Name Of Jon Kennedy. Almost Certainly One Of The 3 Most Talented Men In All Of Stockport. Jon Is A Man On A Musical Mission. What The End Result May Be Remains A Bit Of A Mystery Not Least To The Man Himself But Rest Assured It Includes An Enormous Bag Of Breath-Takingly Beautiful Tunes Copious Rump-Shakingly Fine Dancefloor Corkers And A Hatful Of Innovative Ideas Bordering On Musical Genius.
He's Certainly A Talented Chap. Autumn 2002 Jon Joined The Grand Central Family. Bred A Stone’s Throw From GCHQ His Childhood In Stockport Was Characterized By Exposure To New And Interesting Music As A Function Of His Parents’ Enthusiasm For The Pioneering Artists Of Their Day. Jon Cites Peter Frampton Electric Light Orchestra David Essex And Geoff Wayne’s “War Of The Worlds” Check Out The H.G. Wells Classic ! As Early Influences. His Taste Would In Part Be Shaped Also By His Brother’s Musical Excavations Which Brought Him Into Contact With More Guitar-Centric Bands Like KISS And AC/DC. RELEASED Jon Already To His Credit Has 8 12" Releases A Great Debut Album Entitled "We're Just Waiting For You Now" On The Well Respected Brighton Based Record Label Tru Thoughts Recordings. In August 2003 He Releasd His Second Long Player For Manchester Based Record Label Grand Central Entitled "Take My Drum To England". Which Was Followed By A Third "Useless Wooden Toys" He Is Currently On His Way To Completing His Fourth Long Player Entitled "14" Which Will Be Released On Florida USA Based Organik Recordings Due Out In Autumn 2008 ........ DJ His DJ Style Is Varied But Always Geared To The Dancefloor. Jon Has Travelled The Globe With His Records Making It As Far Afield As China Malaysia And Japan And Can Be Found DJing At Various Other Clubs And Bars Around EUROPE On A Regular Basis. LIVE BAND Jon Is Currently Enrolling Brand New Players In His Band. Including Digital Genius' And Highly Rhytmical Children. The Hope Is That The Show Will Become Increasingly Live So That The Musicians Can Work Through The Grooves Together With The Crowd “Once I Figure Out How To Get All The Sounds Live Either Triggered Or Played It Will Free Me Up So Much More – Then I Can Really Let Go Of Myself”. As It Is Though You’d Be Mistaken To Assume That Jon Kennedy Live Is Merely A Reproduction Of Studio-Produced Material “I Spend Hours Preparing The Backing For Live Gigs So Don’t Be Thinking I Just Get On Stage And Hit Stuff For An Hour Or So !" read less
