Jon Stickley Trio is a genre-defying and cinematic instrumental trio, which combines Stickley's innovative flatpicking guitar with the sultry-spacy melodies of Lyndsay Pruett on violin along with classically trained and heavily jazz influenced drummer Hunter Deacon to create textural soundscapes.
"It's not your father's acoustic-guitar music-although Stickley's pop showed him his first chords when he was 12 years old. Instead, Stickley's Martin churns out a mixture of bluegrass, Chuck Berry, metal, prog, grunge, and assorted other genres-all thoroughly integrated into a personal style," writes Guitar Player Magazine.
"Stickley is a super-resourceful acoustic guitarist who uses the instrument in many surprising ways and whose timing is just flawless. Fiddler Lyndsay Pruett puts deep thought into her flowing solos, plus she adds little flourishes and sudden stops that elevate the music," proclaims Nashville's Music City Roots' Craig Havighurst.
Stickley says of Deacon, the newest member of the Trio since January, "we're really excited to have Hunter's vibe in the mix, his creativity and willingness to experiment are two things that drew us to him. He has a lot of personality, and sensitivity in his playing which makes our dynamic range even wider. Lyndsay and I are inspired by what he brings to the table."
"My time with the Jon Stickley Trio has been great so far," says Deacon. "The two things I love are music and travel. With this group, I get to play music and travel, and as a huge bonus, I get to do it with two people that I really like and respect musically. I am also new to the jamgrass scene and I've got to say that it is about the most welcoming group of folks I've come across. It's been an exciting few months and I can't wait to burn up some more miles and make some more noise."
