who? Part 1
Jon Hart is an Fingerstyle Singer-songwriter based in Surrey, England, UK. He is known for his one-man acoustic performances. His music blends modern percussive fingerstyle guitar with powerful vocals and emotive songwriting, earning him critical acclaim from notable sources like Acoustic Magazine, The Times, Guitar World & BBC Radio Folk
Jon has released multiple albums, EPs, and live performances, including 'Reborn,' 'Set Adrift,' 'Annual,' 'Live in Italy,' 'Six String Therapy,’ and ‘Neurodivergent.’ He has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, and the US and has supported Orbital and Gin Wigmore with former band Opinaut.
Jon has collaborated with other exceptional guitarists, including Daryl Kellie, Amrit Sond, Maneli Jamal, and Billy Watman, for his UK tours, playing at prestigious venues such as the Isle of Wight Festival, London Acoustic Guitar Show and Ullapool Guitar Festival, where he co-headlined with Preston Reed.
Part 2
Despite being compared to singer-songwriters such as Jon Gomm and Newton Faulkner, Jon offers a distinctive touch that sets him apart from his contemporaries. He composes such that they can all be played live using just one acoustic guitar and a vocal harmony pedal (without any looping.)
During the pandemic, Jon adapted to the situation by co-organised an online festival via the Fingerstyle Hub Facebook Group, where he invited 14 world-class guitarists to perform. The event was a resounding success, and Acoustic Guitar Magazine (US) recently featured it, praising Jon's entrepreneurial skills.
Jon is also a sought-after guitar tutor and session musician, having written his first book, 'An Introduction to Modern Fingerstyle & Singing.' He has also developed an Acoustic Guitar Circle program that guides acoustic guitarists of all abilities to learn, arrange, compose, record, release, and perform an acoustic guitar original or cover in just 90 days.
Part 3
In 2024, Jon released his 6th album, 'Neurodivergent, which is concept album where he processed his ADHD and ASD diagnosis and treatment process through music alongside his podcast, 'The Neurodivergent Musician. With this awareness assets Jon is now pushing forward with a vision to advocate, support and mentor Neurodivergent Musicians (NDMs) with his Mentoring service and Musician-Speaker shows.
Along with giving up alcohol and caffeine in 2024, Jon decided to remove himself from the consuming/social part of social media in 2025 to focus on his mental health and to start experiencing an Inside Out life. He sometimes schedules posts, but you won't be able to contact him there anymore. However, please head to the Contact page and get in touch. He has limited his admin time these days, but he will get back to you as soon as he can.
