Jon Shain is a veteran singer-songwriter who’s been turning heads for years with his words, his fiery acoustic guitar work, and his evolved musical style, combining improvised Piedmont blues with bluegrass, swing, and ragtime. Shain had the good fortune to learn directly from a number of North Carolina’s older blues players and became a member of Big Boy Henry’s backup band. He is the 2019 winner of the International Blues Challenge in the solo/ duo category. In addition, Shain was a finalist (along with FJ Ventre) in the 2009 International Blues Challenge, won both the 2008 and 2018 Triangle Blues Society’s Blues Challenge, and was the 2006 winner of NC’s Indy award for Best Folk Act. Shain’s most recent solo disc, Gettin’ Handy with the Blues: A Tribute to the Legacy of WC Handy, was released in January 2018. Shain’s newest album, Never Found a Way to Tame the Blues, recorded along with long-time collaborator FJ Ventre, was released in 2021.
