More about Billy Jonas

A Billy Jonas performance is an explosion of energy. In singalongs, bangalongs, whisperalongs, as well as improvised songs, his primary instrument is the audience. Everyone becomes part of a performance that reaches out and “. . . touches even the most hardened of hearts.” (Fayetteville Morning News)

Concerts begin with a simple “tuning” of the audience; from there a whimsical trajectory carries listeners through stories of life, love, and triumph over ‘Murphy’s Law.’ Jonas’ original pieces are played on fanciful “industrial re-percussion” instruments made from found objects. He sings in a clear tenor voice; his guitar work is adventurous, alternately percussive and lyrical.

In addition to his work with adult/general audiences, Jonas has generated an enthusiastic following for his family show. His CD “What Kind of Cat are You?!” caters to this audience, and received multiple awards including a First Place/Gold from AFIM (American Federation of Independent Musicians), and a Parent’s Choice Gold.

Jonas also has released 2 video/dvd’s for family/young audiences: “Everybody’s in the Band!” and “Bangin’ and Sangin.’” Both have garnered critical acclaim, including Parents Choice Awards; “Bangin’ and Sangin’” received a New York Times “Best” listing.

Billy Jonas’ performances will inspire, inform, and enlighten. His work is born out of respect and reverence, and seeks to honor the creative energy in everyone.
