Leeds based singer songwriter, guitar virtuoso and Youtube viral sensation Jon Gomm has announced a mammoth twenty nine date solo headline UK tour for September and October 2013. Following a meteoric rise to fame last year after receiving support from a certain Mr Stephen Fry on Twitter, Jon Gomm’s story is the modern embodiment of a musical, metaphorical, rags-to-riches tale that has captivated the imagination of millions of listeners.
After touring the world on the back of the success of his Passionflower video, which now stands at just over 4,249,000 views and counting, Jon is pleased to be able to return to the UK to give something back to the fans that gave his very unique take on acoustic music a voice right from the start, as well as showcase brand new material from his forthcoming album Secrets Nobody Keeps (release date TBC) that will be fan funded via a PledgeMusic campaign.

“It’s been a crazy and amazing 12 months for me” says Jon of the upcoming tour, humble as ever “and that’s thanks to my fans here in the UK that started the snowball rolling by sharing my music far and wide, and also for supporting me at tiny gigs all over the country for the past decade. But since I got all popular all of a sudden, it seems I’ve been playing everywhere else on the planet, and I haven’t actually had time for a solo UK tour. So it’s about time all my fellow Brits got to see me play the youtube classics, and I’ve got some new stuff I really want them to hear as well, if that’s OK.”
