Over the years, Doll has performed in corporate boardrooms and in intimate settings for small groups. He has also traveled extensively in Europe, performing in nightclubs and coffee houses.
Accompanying Doll in the JMKAC performances will be several musicians and singers who collaborated with him on "Let That River Run," including fellow Sheboygan resident, guitarist Jim Ohlschmidt and vocalists Deirdre Fellner and Zepher Ciesar. Drummer Bill Knipfer and Grammy-nominated producer and cellist Hans Christian are also joining the performance.
Doll's music, which is best described as folk-rock-blues, paints a picture of the struggles in life, in contrast to the joy that can be found in the world today.
As Doll notes: "Life to me is a long and powerful river. We can struggle mightily against its current, but in the end, the wisest thing to do is simply ride its powerful current and let it take us where it will and enjoy each other's company along the way."
"Let That River Run" is available through Jon Doll's website, jondoll.com . The CD includes a booklet with lyrics for all songs and bios of the other artists. The cost is $15, plus shipping. Doll's music is also available through jondoll.hearnow or on his website to connect to all major streaming services.
