START MAKING SENSE:

The music of Talking Heads has excited, inspired, and healed folks worldwide since their first show at CBGB’s in 1975. If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. The musicians in this seven-piece band celebrate the entire Talking Heads’ catalog, meticulously executing the sounds and iconic live visual elements in every performance, bringing so much of the Heads unique live show that you know and love to the stage.

Jon Fadem:

His biggest musical heroes are Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Jeff Beck, Sly & the Family Stone, John Coltrane, Parliament/Funkadelic, and Frank Zappa. He is a founding member, musical director, and lead guitarist for Start Making Sense, the renowned, internationally touring Talking Heads Tribute band.

His original band Post Junction is a funk/rock/soul/jam band that was featured in the book ‘Jam Bands: North America’s Hottest Live Bands’. Life After Dead is a Grateful Dead tribute band, and Keystone: Jerry Garcia Tribute plays music from the Jerry Garcia Band and The Grateful Dead. Additionally, Jon often performs solo shows using a looper pedal and a wide variety of effects, to create the sound of a full band, all performed live by one person.

Jon was nominated Best Guitarist in the Lehigh Valley Music Awards for six consecutive years.
