Jon Manners has been playing guitar since 1957. An opening act for The Lovin’ Spoonful, he was discovered in the early 70’s by Andrew Loog Oldham, impresario and producer of The Rolling Stones. With Oldham producing, Manners recorded for the Rare Earth label, a subsidiary of Motown but the hit single never materialized. Now, playing solo, he brings his brand of percussive blues-edged roots-rock to the stage.
