JD Simo’s talent has no boundaries. His love of music is just that - a love
of ALL music - and he has mastered every genre he’s explored. His
remarkable talent and versatility has led to recording sessions with artists
including Beyoncé, Dolly Parton, Tommy Emmanuel, Jack White, Joe
Bonamassa, The War and Treaty, Chris Isaak and Stevie Nicks. He’s also
been blessed to share the stage with folks like the Grateful Dead’s Phil
Lesh and collaborate with BlackBerry Smoke, Luther Dickinson and Anson
Funderburgh. As a further testament to the depth of his talent, the world of
film came calling when JD was chosen to flesh out and perform every
single guitar note on the soundtrack to Baz Lurhman’s film “Elvis”.

Like many artists and creators during the COVID shutdown, JD found a
liberating outlet through social media, releasing a relentless treasure of
exploratory jams from “The House of Grease”. With each installment he
reached a growing audience of roots music fans as well as guitar
gearheads wanting the latest on that JD Simo rig rundown. While this tour
will feature songs from his recently released album, Songs From the House
of Grease, fans will also be rewarded as Simo digs deep into the inspiration
he has found in everything from Afrobeat to Maxwell Street era Chicago
Blues, from soulful funk jams to psyched out jazz-rock. Come early, stay
late…the show will show will be presented in two sets.
