Based in Victoria, Jon and Roy consists of members Jon Middleton, Roy Vizer and, most recently, Ryan Tonelli. Centered on the songwriting of Jon, Roy adds the percussive boom that turns folk tunes into groovy ones, while bassist Ryan adds a depth of sound with sweet and low tones.
Constantly driven by their growing fan base, the band’s warm, laid back, inviting acoustic roots music has earned them raves from audiences in the U.K. and Canada, where they have toured with many top artists including Buck 65. If you’ve seen a Volkswagen commercial lately, featuring their single Another Noon, you’ve heard and probably already love Jon and Roy’s wonderfully unassuming, open-mic, coffee-house vibe.
