   About Jon Diamond

Jon Diamond is a guitarist, songwriter and producer who lives in New York City. You can catch him around town, up and down the East Coast or somewhere in Europe playing with The Dana Fuchs Band, where Jon plays guitar, writes the songs with Dana Fuchs, and produces the music. Jon produced The Dana Fuchs band's debut CD,"Lonely For A Lifetime", which was released in 2002. The CD features 10 Fuchs/Diamond penned songs brought to life with Dana's soulful vocals punctuated by Jon's gritty guitar arrangements. "Imagine a sultry, more emotive Janis Joplin backed by a higher-energy version of the late-'60s Rolling Stones...Rock'n'roll doesn't get any better. wrote Stereophile in thier annual 100 Discs To Die For Issue. Reviewing the CD's first single, "Strung Out", Billboard said, "Fuchs' entree is a bold and beautiful thing."

Jon has toured and recorded with Joan Osborne and Debbie Davies, shared the stage with the likes of Etta James, Toots And The Maytals, and James Cotton. Jon also composes and records TV music and has written and played on numerous commercials and TV music campaigns for ABC, VH-1, MTV, MetLife, Fisher Price, Saatchi & Saatchi, etc...

Jon cut his teeth playing on NYC's thriving, gritty blues scene, playing 6 nights a week, 4 sets a night in NYC while also touring up and down the East Coast and in Europe. Sharing the stage night after night with veteran, old school blues and R&B players gave Jon a priceless grounding in, and an authentic feel for Blues, R&B and roots music which is evident in his soulful, stinging playing and song-writing. Reviewing a live DFB show, Good Times Magazine wrote, "... her band included that 'Master of the Telecaster', Jon Diamond who is undoubtedly one of my favorite New York City guitarists.

Here's some video of Jon with The Dana Fuchs Band at BB King's NYC. (Just click on song titles to watch):

Thanks for the a great, energetic and musically enticing show on Saturday night.....You rocked, & gave it your all!.....There is such a strong osmotic effect between you and Dana. It's a pure and heavenly synchronicity . I was grateful to have the opportunity to observe you from the side stage, and took notice in the unmentioned vibes that you and Dana exchange. You guys were so tight and well connected. I always comment on the DFB site, and I strongly feel that you personally deserve your own praise and kudos........good luck w/ the tour......
Glad you enjoy the decadent delicacies

Jon, I have a proposition for you...
If you come to Canada and give me guitar lessons, I will pay you with copious amounts of Canadian nickels.
It's really a win-win situation. My nickel is worth more than yours, and I don't like nickels.
Think about it.

From WIKIPEDIA:

Panzarotti or Panzerotti are a type of Italian dish popularized in the United States, especially in South Jersey. It consists of a pocket of dough filled with a generous portion of melted mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and any number of fillings, which is then wrapped, shut, and deep-fried. The panzarotti rises during this process, creating a pocket containing a considerable amount of steam which needs to be partially dissipated before one can eat the panzarotti. Baked panzarottis also exist, although they are considerably less popular and are more like stromboli than anything else.

I'm the worst follow up person. I DID get your message and everytime i think (thougt) I need to write back, I was never in front of a computer. SORRY! I am not a bitch I promise. Hope you're doing well and enjoying your summer. Its been rough for me. I am working and doing all this free shit and its so uninspiring. It'll get better though.

Take care
