Jon Clement: Mandolin, vocals

Jon Clement plays mandolin and sings lead and baritone in the group. He met Terry, Ken, Nathan, and Gene at a local bluegrass jam soon after moving to Baker. When he shared the prayer he had for several years about starting a Gospel bluegrass group, the guys got all fired up about it and started meeting to share songs, and see what the Lord would do with the group. Jon has been playing mandolin since 1984, beginning with fiddle tunes, bluegrass, then expanding into several styles, including Celtic, Latin, Swing, and even adding rythym and fills in worship sets from time to time.

Jon and his wife Leanne live in Baker City. Leanne once said that Jon was "spreading the plague of bluegrass in Baker Valley". Jon maintained that he was merely "helping the germs get organized". You can read about Jon and Leanne by going to www.clementjonleanne.blogspot.com
