Hailing from ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Territory, Jon Davis has been in show business since he was a teenager but until relatively recently, focused more on live performances than recording and releasing his original music. It was only after a chance meeting with The Kenny Rogers Band that his career took on a new direction; when Jon was invited to Nashville to live with, and record his compositions with the actual hit-makers behind every one of Kenny Rogers' immortal classics for the last 40 years.
Since then, Jon has regularly featured finalist before taking out ‘the big one’ in 2023 at the ASA Australian Song of the Year Awards as the recipient of the Rudy Brandsma Award for Songwriting Excellence.
Jon has toured extensively throughout Australia and internationally and it was during the COVID pandemic Jon found himself ‘locked down’ in Townsville where he discovered the sights, sounds and smells of Northern Queensland. While his heart will always be in the Northern Territory, it became clear that Jon had to make the move ‘east’ in order to expose his songwriting to a broader, national audience.
“I’ll always be a Territory boy, but the country music circuit is so strong and the lifestyle so vibrant in Queensland, that it was a no-brainer…” Jon said.
To that end, Jon invested in a bespoke recording studio just outside of Townsville, where he is currently working on a few studio albums, a live EP and a few children’s songs, in readiness for the 2027 Australian Song of the Year Awards and of course, the Golden Guitars.
Jon’s history of performing at ANZAC Day and similar services as well as senior citizen retreats and disabled care facilities is well-documented. Jon now regularly delivers as many live shows as possible at country music festivals and public events as well as rodeos, pubs, clubs and bars across northern Queensland and beyond.
And now, he is lined up to give an amazing show at the 2026 Rotary NQ Field Day. Jon will be performing live on Saturday 30th at the event from 12:00pm – 4:00pm. This is your chance to see an Aussie music master!
