Jon Gen - Acoustic Musician

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me




My Stage Name is Jon Gen. You can find me performing acoustic music around Michigan and Ohio. If you haven't seen me yet; hope to see you soon!

Check out the MP3s of a couple of my songs on the left of this page. "I Run To" is a song I wrote to capture the notion that music can help us escape deal with or otherwise endure whatever life throws at us or in this case, takes away. "Please Don't Call" is a song I think all of us can relate to at some point in our life or another...falling in love with someone who just doesn't love you is a tragic thing all around. "Love You On Sunday" was inspired by an english pub.

If you do come to a performance, I welcome hello's! and an occassional pirate's ARRRRR!
