I'm a stay-at-home dad of two. I did the singer-songwriter thing full-time in the 90s, but these days I have fun performing with my band, The Loomers, my wife, Heather Quay, and by myself. You can read more about my musical life, and find some of my albums at my band's website: www.loomers.com

Jon Svetkey BIO

Before his current job as stay-at-home dad to two beautiful children, Jon was one of the founders of End Construction Productions (with Ellis Paul, Jim Infantino and Brian Doser), the songwriter collective that was the catalyst for the resurgence of the New England folk scene in the early 1990s.

In the mid-1990s, Jon opened for stellar songwriters like Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainwright III, John Wesley Harding, Peter Case, Chris Smither, John Gorka, Cheryl Wheeler, Carrie Newcomer, Bill Morrissey, and Danny O'Keefe. He also headlined at dozens of folk clubs, colleges and coffeehouses throughout the Northeast and Midwest.

His first two solo albums, this is NOW and yeahyeahyeah, received tons of airplay on folk radio stations, as well as excellent reviews from critics and fans alike. His latest solo album Take A Breath, -- a live-in-one-take, career-up-to-that-moment retrospective of sorts -- was released in 2004.

Since 1994, Jon has performed with his band, The Loomers. They have released four albums of Jon's songs -- Tomorrow Today (2006), Shine (2004), Simple As That (1998), and Escalation (1997) -- and played tons of shows at tons of places. Nowadays, they play for fun and have a great time.

Jon's songs have appeared on the Dr. Demento Show, as well as a couple compilation albums. Jon has also sung, or played guitar, on albums by Ellis Paul, Don Conoscenti, and Jim Infantino to drop just a few names. And, in addition to serving as songwriter for The Loomers, Jon has written a bunch of songs with folksinger Don White.
