Jon Walmsley, British/American musician/actor, is best known to millions of television viewers as “Jason” on the long-running hit The Waltons.
Lesser known, but equally impressive is his career as a musician. Having made his Grand ‘Ole Opry debut in 1975, Jon blossomed in the 80’s as guitarist with the Richard Marx band. Returning to Nashville, Jon wrote, produced and played on a number of projects for EMI music, including the well-loved holiday CD, A Waltons Christmas -Together Again. After extensive live and session work with a who’s-who of musical artists, Jon released his first solo blues CD in 2017, Goin’ To Clarksdale.
Once again living in the UK, Jon’s US visits are extremely rare. His rootsy, guitar-driven show at The Franklin Theatre promises to be a very special event, not to be missed by his music and television fans alike.
