JON GOMM Australian TOUR 
april 2012

Translator Records are very proud and honored to announce the first ever Australian tour of UK singer/songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire, Jon Gomm.

             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7GnAq6Znw 

Jon Gomm (U.K.) is one of the world's most gifted and inspirational guitar players.  A singer-songwriter with an incredible, almost superhuman, virtuoso acoustic guitar style, where he uses one guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and sparkling melodies all at the same time. 

Andy Sorenson
Andy's rock influenced piano and vocal style are showcased in his new solo performances heavily featuring ambient vocal effects and synthesizer loops, organically built up throughout the show.  

This is going to be a night to remember!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7GnAq6Znwshapeimage_4_link_0
