Jon Gomm just released his latest single in the Domestic Science Single Series, an instrumental cover of Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody.” Needless to say, it grooves.
You can download it on his website, a percentage of what you pay goes to STEPS. Jon also has quite a busy tour schedule ahead of him, be sure to check out if he’s coming to your country.

If you haven’t heard of Jon Gomm yet, you will soon. After building an audience through constant touring in the UK and Europe, his video for Passionflower has recently gone viral, reaching a whole new global audience.
I asked Jon for an interview and he suggested doing it on Skype. We ended up talking for almost an hour and touched on a lot of topics, so I decided to split the interview in two parts.
In the first part Jon talks about the response to Passionflower, his influences, and his songwriting process. We also talked a bit about Passionflower itself. The second part will deal with Jon’s gear, marketing as an indie musician, and his plans for the rest of the year.

Usman Riaz is a Pakistani multi-instrumentalist and composer who also happens to play a pretty mean acoustic guitar. He just released his first full-length album Circus in the Sky, a seemingly ambitious record which I’m anxiously waiting to listen to.
Originally known for playing spanish guitar, Kelly Valleau recently switched to steel-string for his new album “Vol. 2.” I asked Kelly about the switch as well as his teaching site String Training.
Over the last few years, Maneli Jamal has been making quite a name for himself, mostly thanks to his powerfully evocative music which is a reflection of his life. For his upcoming album The Lamaj Movement, he’s focusing on the story of his family and all the struggles and experiences thy’ve lived through.
When you first see Trevor Gordon Hall playing his kalimbatar, the idea might seem strange, perhaps even a little crazy. But it all makes sense once you listen to the wonderful music he creates with it. Trevor shares with us how the idea to stick a kalimba on a guitar came about, and drops some philosophy along the way…
