Lon Eldridge was raised in the small town of Spring City in East Tennessee. Growing up, he was always surrounded by family members who loved and played music. At age 13, he picked up the guitar for the first time and was never the same. Ever since then he has crafted his music into his own unique blend of blues, with the rawness of the Delta, the intricacies of Piedmont blues, and borrowing from the influence of jazz and ragtime. Now age 25, Lon sings with a powerful, moving voice and plays more than ten different instruments, giving him a musical diversity that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Lon has shared the stage with musical greats such as The Lovell Sisters, Mike Farris, B.B. King, David Crowder Band, Dan Landrum, The Black Crowes, Miss Tess and the Bon Ton Parade, and many more…
Lon is teaching the following classes in October and November:
