During a storied career spanning over five decades he has played everywhere from Madison Square Garden to Copenhagen and has amassed an impressive discography that includes major label and indie releases on three continents. Born and raised in New York City, he has made his home in Santa Fe for the past 34 years and has put down deep roots in the local community. Manson's songs are diverse and genre-bending, drawing on roots, rock, soul, pop and country traditions as they paint vivid portraits of resilient characters standing tall in the face of time’s relentless march, and his performances are similarly determined, delivered with a passion, humor and conviction that’s as honest as it is empathetic.Manson has shared the stage with Pete Seeger and backed up Bo Diddley. He has travelled to Pakistan as part of his long-standing collaboration with sindhi sufi/rock stars The Sketches, and played on an album by Dean Ween. He appeared in a Kevin Costner film, which used one of his songs as the central theme, and wrote the official song for his kid's elementary school. He has co-written with and produced albums for American Idol finalist Crystal Bowersox, John Popper, toured with Joan Osborne, and shepherded countless projects for local musicians. Jono will be joined by pianist&nbsp;James Raymond,&nbsp;the son of David Crosby, who toured with Crosby &amp; Nash, co-writing multiple songs and records with David Crosby, Crosby &amp; Nash, Michael McDonald, Donald Fagen and played on records by Warren Zevon and many, many others.
