Jay Vonn and Keith Scott Blues

Songwriters Showcase


Heavily influenced by Bob Dylan and John Prine, Americana/Folk musician Jay Vonn sings about travel, love, adventure, misadventure, life, death, and just about everything else in between, usually with a story or two sprinkled in for good measure...

One of Chicago’s most vibrant musicians, Keith Scott has built his reputation as a sizzling blues guitarist, dynamic performer, noteworthy songwriter and bandleader. He has toured the U.S. and Europe both with his band and blues great Jimmy Dawkins. His new album “Back to State Street” released in 2025.

Songwriter Showcase encourages the creation and sharing of original music by regional singer songwriters.
