Jon Gamble ~ Keyboards
For over three decades “Jon G B3 Keys” has been a dynamic part of the New England music scene. Jon’s style ranges from soulful, gospel, and jazzy blues, to hard hitting passionate grooves laced with lightning fast chord progressions and solos on his Hammond organ or Korg stage piano.

Recently, Jon was a member of the Boston based alternative blues band, Bees Deluxe, recording the 2014 release, “Trouble In Paradise” at All Things Audio, in Natick Ma. The album earned acclaim from Metronome Magazine and Bill Copeland’s Music News ... and Blues Blast magazine writes Jon Gamble’s keyboard instrumental on "Cell Phone" . . . “features the coolest jazz organ this side of Jimmy Smith”.
