Jon Stickley is a flatpicking guitarist based in Asheville, North Carolina, and has been a touring musician for more than 20 years. While obsessed with classic flatpickers such as Tony Rice, Norman Blake, and Doc Watson, he has always strived with his original music to find new ground. He's best known as the leader of the Jon Stickley Trio, which has released five full length albums and been featured in The New York Times. He also has collaborative duo projects with Larry Keel and Andy Thorn. Over the years he has shared the stage with The Infamous Stringdusters, Greensky Bluegrass, Bryan Sutton, the late Jeff Austin, and has played with, and filled in for Billy Strings. Jon recently launched bluegrassguitarlicks.com, an instructional site where players can learn his approach to flatpicking from home.
