Jon Itkin

Dubbed a "rough cut diamond" by the Oregonian, Jon Itkin makes literate, earthy music in the tradition of Americana artists like Johnny Cash and Townes Van Zandt. Itkin's songs are colored by a deep sense of narrative and imagery, a half-empty whiskey glass and a love of words -- The Band and Charles Bukowski are both important influences. A winner of the 2006 Willamette Valley Folk Fest New Song Contest, Itkin is quietly becoming one of the Northwest's most respected songwriters. Read more on Last.fm
