JD Simo

JD Simo... The Chicago-born, now Nashville transplant is like a one-man

crusade dedicated to keeping music real, raw, and honest. No matter the

setting and no matter his role (whether it’s wingman or bandleader)

J.D.’s presence infuses the situation of the moment with the music that’s

been fueling him pretty much his whole life, spiced with influences that

straddle both decades and dimensions.

As a guitarist, songwriter and producer/engineer, Simo has worked with the likes of Jack White (Beyoncé Lemonade sessions), Phil Lesh, James McCartney, Tommy Emmanuel, David Kahne, Cowboy Jack Clement, Dave Cobb, Paul Worley, George Porter, Anson Funderburgh, Peter Collins, Joe Bonamassa, Chris Isaak and Baz Luhrmann on the soundtrack and score of the Elvis biopic.
