Jon Spencer is an unmissable name in the history of Rock'n'Roll. The North American singer, songwriter and guitarist is perhaps the last living symbol and reference of raw and true Rock’n’Roll.
His story is special. Pools of sweat left in all his experiences, violent, raw and rescued at the edge of the electric abyss.
He has been like this since his birth, unchanging and clear in all his musical projects. An enviable story with no obstacles to inspiration.
An enlightened innovator who is immune to fashion, he follows his rules while respecting the roots of Rock’n’Roll.
Artist calibrated in the mastery of fusion. Rock'n'Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Blues, Noise Rock, Punk, Funk, Hip Hop, Rockabilly, Garage Punk and much more, everything fits into Jon Spencer's musical universe. Therefore, his entire progression since the genuine Pussy Galore respects the evolutionary logic of his career. Boss Hog, Heavy Trash, The Hit Makers and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are the most revisited moments in his long career.
His meteoric career alongside his Blues Explosion (Russell Simins, Judah Bauer) was a very important milestone in the history of contemporary music. “Orange” and “Now i Got Worry” are mandatory passports to travel through the Rock'n'Roll universe.
The techniques used and the collaborations with both producers and musicians make all of his work a target of attention and search. The list of artists is long, Matt Verta Ray, Steve Albini, Beck, Solomon Burk, Elliot Smith, Mike D (Beastie Boys) and Andre Williams.
The collaborations recorded with Dub Narcotic Sound System and mainly the boost in R. L. Burnside's career were important moments in the careers of both artists.
For many, 1991 (the year his Blues Explosion was born) also marks the beginning of Jon Spencer's career.
Brutal concerts. This part was always guaranteed and the most important mark of his career.
Jon Spencer is synonymous with the stage, voracious, explosive and accurate in every performance. Acclaimed, beloved, cult artist.
Whatever mutation he presents itself in, the planet knows that the spectacle is guaranteed.
