Jon LaDeau is a guitarist, songwriter, and singer based in Brooklyn, N.Y. Over the past 12 years, he has toured internationally in support of four solo albums, shared festival bills with Jeff Tweedy, Emmylou Harris, Sturgill Simpson, and Commander Cody and has toured nationally as a sideman with Kelli Scarr, April Smith and The Great Picture Show, and others. Since 2014 Jon has also found a home as a member of The National Reserve. Voted Pennsylvania’s #1 New York Band in 2019, The National Reserve has had the good grace to perform regularly by growing a devoted fan base and sharing the stage with artists like Tedeschi Trucks Band, John Moreland, Brent Cobb, Amy Helm, Margo Price, Daddy Long Legs and many others.
Glide is premiering the twangy salt of the earth single “Younger Days” (below) that hits home with its thick bleeding guitar work reminiscent of blues mainstays. LaDeau has a knack for hitting the sweet spot with a punctuating sound built on melody and narrative commentary. The economic sounds of Todd Snider & Hayes Carll sneak up on LaDeau’s presentation, earning him legit nods in both the Americana and Folk realms.
