JD Simo Duo

Friday, September 11 | 8 PM

JD Simo has played every guitar part on Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis soundtrack, coached Jeremy Allen White on Scott Cooper’s upcoming Springsteen biopic, and was tapped as guitarist for Chris Isaak’s 2025 tours. He has collaborated with Jack White, Tommy Emmanuel, Phil Lesh & Friends, Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, and Beyoncé. Guitar World, Vintage Guitar, and Paste Magazine have all called him one of today’s most innovative and sought-after guitarists.

He plays Hill Country blues with psychedelic textures, deep grooves, and fiery improvisation. Live, he performs as the JD Simo Duo alongside long-time collaborator and drummer Adam Abrashoff — a background spanning jazz, rock, and afrobeat. Two people, raw energy, no net.

“It’s about capturing raw, honest energy. Adam and I tap into the groove, let it flow, and let the music speak for itself.” — JD Simo, Premier Guitar
