About Me

my name is jon manning. i want to borrow your musical equipment and play shows in your living room, right before we have a slumber party and watch many dvds back to back.

i've played shows with bands like:
-dennis driscoll
-don lennon
-foot foot
-karl blau
-little wings
-red pony clock
-your heart breaks
and more more more...

Sometimes people who play music love other people's music enough to put their hardwork and money into it. I'm one of those peoples. Yes, peoples. (I feel like I'm explaining "the birds and the bees".)
