Fun for All Ages

Billy Jonas is one of those rare performers who can engage and delight
both young and adult audiences.  Billy’s clear tenor voice is
well-suited to a plethora of venues, from intimate settings and workshop
sessions to large halls and outdoor festivals. For more than two
decades, his creative and interactive performances have enchanted and
inspired folks from all walks of life — touching hearts, souls, and
minds world-wide .  As a founding member of the acclaimed duo “The
Billys,” Billy Jonas has made innovative use of “found objects.” He
helps audiences discover the music within common items … and within
themselves. Billy Jonas’ recordings and live concerts across the US and
Canada have generated an enthusiastic following. His CD “What Kind of Cat are You?!”
received multiple awards including a First Place/Gold from AFIM
(American Federation of Independent Musicians), and a Parent’s Choice
Gold.  Jonas’ videos have garnered critical acclaim, including Parents
Choice Awards and a New York Times “Best” listing.



The Concert Experience

Billy Jonas’ music is percussion-based, making use of found objects
(buckets, broom handles, bottles, key chains and more) as well as
traditional instruments. But on any given day, the specific nature of
this unforgettable neo-tribal hootenanny is largely determined and
shaped by the audience. He tailors both his song selection and its
presentation to suit the needs and vibe of each audience. So every Billy
Jonas concert is a unique experience. He makes spirited,
straightforward music that is accessible to anyone and everyone,
regardless of age or cultural background. The big-tent festival quality
of Billy’s music facilitates connection and community while fostering
inspiration and… most importantly… FUN. Billy Jonas has shared stages
with many renowned artists, including Patti Larkin, Ani DiFranco, David
Wilcox, Richard Thompson, and Pete Seeger. His upbeat, engaging presence
(both onstage and off) encourages active audience participation. His
concerts are a magical mix of stagecraft and wholesome, open-ended,
anything-can- happen spontaneity.



GRAMMY award winner Alison Krauss says, “Billy Jonas’ talent and wit
make him and his music irresistible. Whenever I see him perform, my face
hurts from smiling.” And Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary)
testifies, “Billy Jonas is one of the most original, moving and
simultaneously hilarious performers I’ve ever seen.”
