http://radio3.cbc.ca/bands/Jon-Middleton

Born and raised in a log cabin amongst the green forest of Shawnigan Lk., British Columbia Jon Middleton now resides in Vancouver. At around age 12 he picked up his dad's acoustic guitar and began strumming away, 4 years later he joined his first band. It wasn't until he attended the University of Victoria that Jon entered the acoustic musical phase he still plays around in. From playing shows on campus and around Victoria, Jon earned himself a fairly large dedicated following. Eventually he added percussionist Roy Vizer and then violinist/mandolinist Dougal McLean forming the group 'Jon and Roy.' This trio enjoyed sold out shows in Victoria and Vancouver and positive reviews of their cd 'Sittin Back' (which is still available at www.cdbaby.com/jonroy ) After a road trip to Australia and SE Asia the group 'Jon and Roy' disbanded. However, upon returning home Jon went straight into the studio and recorded 13 songs that he had written during and after his trip. With the album 'After a Trip' now completed, Jon plans on supporting the album by playing shows across Canada and down south of the border. As well, percussionist Roy Vizer has now rejoined the group along with Dougal Mclean (violin/mandolin) who often joins the band on stage to add his musical talents.
