About — The artist
Jon Spencer is an American singer, guitarist and bandleader, known for his work in the noise and garage rock scenes with Pussy Galore, Boss Hog and, above all, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. In the mid-1990s, he collaborated with Mississippi blues musician R. L. Burnside on the album A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (1996), a crossover that brought Burnside wider attention beyond blues audiences. After announcing the end of Blues Explosion in 2022, Spencer released new material and toured with Jon Spencer & the Hitmakers, featuring Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss, before forming a trio with Kendall Wind and Macky “Spider” Bowman, of The Bobby Lees.
