about

Jon Duncan is a singer-songwriter and poet from Sandy Bay, Tasmania.

He began recording with a Tascam 4-track cassette machine in 1992 and ever thereafter lamented the demise of analogue, only to rejoice with the silent majority at the Lazarus-style vinyl resurgence.

He has played live around Tasmania for more than twenty years and released his first LP, Where Your Treasure Is, in 2001 and his first volume of poetry, Songs of Solitude, in 2014, a wrecking-ball memoir of time spent in a psychiatric hospital.

Jon also writes and plays in two duos: Silence Is Autumn and Two Little Woodpeckers. Both of these bands have recorded LPs and are ongoing. Check them out on YouTube.

Spare, soulful, intimate, real and raw as it gets. Music to break your heart even as it puts you back together.

"Jon Duncan started in a blaze of glory tonight and broke many hearts. He won over many more..." - Natasha Turner, The Examiner, July 4, 2001.

"Deeply confessional, visceral, heart wrenching, revealing a wisdom not so much hard won as hard worn." - Claire Hiller, from the liner notes to Songs of Solitude, October 21, 2014.
