Guitar Sensation Jon Gomm Seeking Musicians To Open Shows

• 12th Jun 2013

After 2 years touring all over the planet, Jon Gomm is hitting the road on home soil with his first major solo UK Tour this Autumn, playing the Youtube hits that made his name and premiering songs from his forthcoming album Secrets Nobody Keeps.

If you are a band or solo artist, Jon has now revealed that you can apply to play the opening set on one of the gigs. Gomm explained how he well remembers the pain of applying for support slots in his hometown, only to find it was already taken by a touring support artist, often on the same label or agency roster as the headliners. Where possible, Jon wants to give the chance to local musicians.

All the information for how to apply is on this page: http://bit.ly/GomUK

Here’s the information in full:

What to do :

1) Go to the facebook event for the one gig nearest you (listed below).
2) Please post a direct link to video or audio of your music (e.g. Youtube, Soundcloud, or Bandcamp) as a post on this event page.
3) Jon will personally select a shortlist of bands.
