Musician Bio Sample
Jon Peretti, Austin, TX Guitarist Jon Peretti was born into a large family of classical musicians and veritable prodigies. Younger sister Maura was the nation’s only oboist admitted this year into Philadelphia’s prestigious Curtis Institute. Jon spent his early childhood in Bloomington, Indiana. While his father earned a Master’s degree in Musical Performance, Jon barged into university rehearsal halls and master classes with the stealth only a nine year old can manage. The university abounded with artists, musicians, and writers, and this early experience partly explains Jon’s defiance of musical limitations. In an environment thoroughly steeped in Brahms and youth symphony schedules, Jon’s family approached his obsession with jazz and rock with diplomatic, if sometimes aloof bewilderment. Younger brother James, the finest horn player to skip class at Berklee College of Music to sleep off late night gigs around Boston was the family’s only other supplicant to the world of jazz. In conversation the two smoothly traded off roles as apprentice and liege. James’ death from childhood diabetes was tragic and unexpected. His memory and inspiring rare musical gift remain with Jon as he continues their shared drive toward music exploration and growth. © Cesca Janece Waterfield Back
