Jon Stickley Trio is a genre-defying and cinematic instrumental group based in Asheville, North Carolina. The trio incorporates deep grooves, innovative flatpicking guitar, and spacey violin.
Jon Stickley learned guitar from his father when he was 12 years old. The trio features a wide range of influences that include bluegrass, rock, jazz and beyond.
Stickley says, “The Trio feels fresher and hotter than ever, we’ve hit our stride in terms of creating tunes that are uniquely us and that’s a really exciting place to be musically.”
The Jon Stickley Trio in 2021 included Jon Stickley on guitars, Lyndsay Pruett on violin and Hunter Deacon on drums.
In February 2022, Jon Stickley Trio released the single, “Take The Air”. “Over the last couple years,” said the guitarist, “I found a lot of comfort in getting outside and taking walks. This song, ‘Take the Air’ came to me after taking a stroll and thinking about all the picker buddies I was missing. It’s the kind of laid back tune I’d love to sit around on the porch and play with some good friends. I hope it brings everyone a little peace like a good walk can.”
