Jon Herington
Guitar Master
Jon Herington is "Steely Dan's New Guitar Guy"
"...arguably one of the most coveted slots in the annals of popular music. And also, potentially, one of the most intimidating; few musical roles receive the same amount of examination, discussion, and debate as does this one. But Jon is handling it all with "perfection and grace," turning out work which, to our minds, often evokes the melodic and rhythmic heart of cherished recorded versions while simultaneously displaying his own original and powerful musicality."

The new CD from guitarist Jon Herington is called "Like So". It features Jon on guitar, naturally, but the big surprises here are Jon's vocals, the songwriting, and the sound of a band that recalls the good old days of 60's rock yet manages to sound fresh and varied in its support of each of these 13 great original songs.
Jon has recently finished a world tour with Boz Scaggs and is currently on his second tour with Steely Dan, promoting the excellent new album Everything Must Go (also featuring Jon).
