Independent musician and virtuoso guitarist Jon Gomm released his hugely acclaimed album “Secrets Nobody Keeps” in November last year, he has announced he is performing the album in full in two exclusive dates:
16th May – 100 Club, London
17th May – Holy Trinity, Leeds
Not content with just rounding off a near sold out 30 date UK headline tour as well as appearances in China, South Africa and Europe, Jon will soon be announcing a full South American tour for April 2014 followed by a full tour of Ireland in May 2014.
The album has already been critically lauded with Total Guitar hailing it as “perhaps the best percussive guitar album we’ve ever heard” and awarding it a 5/5 review.
Produced by Whiskas, whose expertise at painting sonic landscapes in the studio and his background (as founder of the legendary DIY label Dance To The Radio and the band Forward Russia), made him the perfect fit musically and business-ethic-wise for the project, Secrets Nobody Keeps was 100% crowd funded in the short space of 4 weeks in a whirlwind PledgeMusic campaign that drew on the power of Jon’s millions of fans and viewers worldwide.
The album title itself, ‘Secrets Nobody Keeps’ is a nod to Jon’s gratitude for the power of social networks. Ever since the day a simple one word Tweet from Stephen Frylinking to Jon’s Passionflower video (nearly 5 million views and counting) started the snowball rolling on his career, he’s been an advocate of, in his own words, “having that private little moment of discovery on Youtube, then sharing the music everywhere.”
