Experience an intimate night of world-class musicianship as fingerstyle guitarist Jonathan Brown takes the stage at the Poduty Podcast Theater. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Jonathan brings a style rooted in tradition and elevated by innovation, blending elements of jazz, classical, and country into a seamless solo performance.

His playing carries the influence of legends like Chet Atkins while carving out a voice that is entirely his own. Whether he’s reimagining jazz standards or delivering original compositions, every note is played with precision, emotion, and purpose.
