Jon Byrd brings music lovers of all stripes out to hear great country songs sung and played with heart and soul. Byrd relocated to Nashville, Tennessee in 2001, where he quickly made a name for himself as a singularly authentic country singer and Telecaster slinger, recording with such fine artists as the soulful Davis Raines, Texas country singer Buck Jones, folk-rock songwriter Stephen Simmons, and the rockabilly whirlwind Suzette Lawrence. Always a featured sideman, Jon’s first solo recording didn’t come along until late 2004, when he debuted his band Byrd’s Auto Parts, a rambling collective of in-demand players who set about fleshing out Jon’s original material. And the critics loved it: “A terrifically accomplished, versatile country singer” reported No Depression magazine. Jon will be accompanied by Paul Niehaus, an accomplished pedal steel player who has performed on releases by Justin Townes Earle, Calexico, Iron & Wine, Wanda Jackson and others.
