Jon Camp is a Washington, DC-based fingerstyle guitarist who came to the Milwaukee Jazz Gallery a week ago with his trio consisting of bassist Nick Arrivo and pedal steel guitarist Jamie Linder.
It was a delightful set full of rich melodies and lovely textures, with a very pleasant Americana feel. It seemed to me that a lack of percussion helped smooth out the mixture of instruments and allowed a lot of the lyricism to shine through.
