Jon Cocker plays a warm, full-sounding blend of alternative/folk music. He grew up in Sheffield (UK) and played in bands in Leeds and Norwich. He uses his band experience to combine guitar with insightful, emotive vocals, playing at festivals in several cities, including Wild Paths in Norwich alongside the likes of José González. Performing regularly in Leeds, Sheffield and surrounding areas, his music has been likened to Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, and captures all the emotion possible in this age of time pressures and distraction. "Jon Cocker is an authentic ... As a singer finding the middle ground between Neil Young and Jeff Buckley. Cocker’s got some of Young’s twang and a touch of Buckley’s rare vibrating sustain ... Sparse production is all that’s needed to aid in the illumination of this brilliant performance. Cocker effectively captures their aura in song." - The Wild is Calling User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
