JD Simo

February 24, 2010 by Josh

JD Simo is an up-and-coming local Nashville guitarist. Since moving to Nashville in 2006, he’s become an in-demand session musician as well as a regular performer in the Don Kelly Band, which counts Redd Volkaert, Johnny Hiland, and Brent Mason as alumni.

I had a chance to see Simo this past weekend at Robert’s Western World in downtown Nashville. Although I was only able to catch a few minutes of his set, I can see why he’s been garnering great reviews. Apparently, the word has already gone around Nashville, because Robert’s was standing room only with wall-to-wall people. I’m looking forward to catching a longer set next time, hopefully with a little more room to move! Here’s a clip of Simo playing some blues with the Don Kelly Band:

    Stumbled into Robert’s in downtown Nashville this evening and was absolutely astounded. INCREDIBLE Band and J.D. Simo reminds me of bass and J.D. Simo is by far the greatest guitarist I have witnessed play in my 52 years.

    Apologies —– error in comment.
    Please read: J. D. Simo is by far the greatest guitarist I have witnessed play in my 52 years. The Bass player was also sensational.

    Bob, JD is certainly a fantastic guitarist. If you live in the Nashville area, he occasionally fronts his own blues-based band. I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but I hope to soon.
