About this user
Jon Dakota is a songwriter who observes, reflects and comments about the experiences he sees in his life and around himself, in our sometimes absurd culture, and this often crazy world.
He has been described as an idiosyncratic troubadour in the genres of Prine, Guthrie, Williams, Kristofferson and early Dylan.
Jon says:
"I write about what I see, hear, experience, empathize with, wonder about and makes me crazy.
I pay attention to and write about whats going on, whats honest, whats uplifting and whats depressing about my life and the lives of those around me.
I want to tell stories that resonate because they are based on reality and truth, and because they have something to say. I want my songs to be simple, clear and engaging, both emotionally and intellectually.
I never had guitar or harp or singing lessons. I don't know what I don't know. I just make it up as I go along.
I try to carve into myself, find some truth, have something to say, make the personal universal, keep it simple and spit it
out.
