In this special episode of Steamboat Sound Check, we sit down with Jon Stickley, the powerhouse guitarist behind the Jon Stickley Trio, ahead of Day 2 of WinterWonderGrass. Known for his dynamic blend of bluegrass, Gypsy jazz, folk, and rock, Stickley has carved out a unique space in the acoustic music world with his raw, high-energy playing style.
Recorded at Dusky Grouse Coffee, this conversation goes beyond the music. Jon opens up about his personal connection to World Rare Disease Day, the resilience of his home community in Asheville, NC following Hurricane Helene, and the unique experience of being an “Artist at Large” at WinterWonderGrass—jumping into different sets, collaborating on the fly, and keeping the festival spirit alive.
And, of course, no Sound Check session would be complete without live music! Jon treats us to three exclusive performances, bringing his signature intricate fingerpicking, and even some singing to this intimate setting.
Grab a coffee, tune in, and get ready for a masterclass in instrumental music from one of the most innovative guitarists on the scene.
