Jon Gomm, based in Yorkshire in the UK, is an acoustic singer-songwriter with a revolutionary virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, bass lines and twisting melodies all at the same time. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead. Jon is a truly and fiercely independent artist, with his own label and no mainstream industry support, but using mostly online social networks for promotion, he has defied the odds with a huge, truly supportive fanbase resulting in headline tours on all 5 continents, from Australia, Canada and Europe to China and South Africa and South America.
Rob Gomm is a vegan chef at Upside Down Cafe, a specialty coffee shop in Blackpool on the North West coast of the UK. Blackpool usually specialises in penny arcades, inflatable beach balls and hot, sugary doughnuts on the promenade, and it does not have a coffee culture…yet. Upside Down are the beginning of that, and hope very much not to be the end.
