Jon Blondell

We would like to present Jon Blondell to you. His first solo effort “ALIVE the Elephant Room”, was released on Fable Records in July 2010. It is an enticing album with many tracks that everyone can enjoy. Recorded on February 9th and March 7th, 2010 at the Elephant Room, Mark Sarisky produced and engineered the nine-track album in a manner that puts the listener right there in the Elephant Room on the days of recording. After studying at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, he came to Austin and quickly gained the house bass player chair at Antone’s Night Club. There, he performed with acts such as U2, Carlos Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Charlie Sexton. While his monster bass playing chops earned him high regards with acts such as Sublime and Willie Nelson, his first love of jazz and unconventional trombone playing prove that his first solo album is definitely one to hear.
