Spotlight on Jonathan Estep

Jonathan Estep is 14 years old and available. Even though he's young, he's still quite an accomplished musician and can play the upright bass, guitar, mandolin, piano, organ and drums. He can also sing just about any vocal part. Jonathan is home schooled and his favorite subject is Geography. Jonathan is a HUGE Doyle Lawson fan. Just ask him, he'll tell you all about Doyle. On second thought, you don't have to ask.

Jonathan started singing in church at the age of 2 1/2. At first Jonathan sang the tenor parts. But during his first recording session (at age 9) Dale Perry said that Jonathan's voice would drop someday. Sure enough, it did...right in the middle of cutting the "Coal to Diamonds" CD.

Now Jonathan has a strong baritone voice and is working on strengthening his lead and bass vocals. Every once in a while he can still his those tenor parts, but not too often. Jonathan started playing the bass at the age of 8 1/2 with The King's Strings. He was so short, and the bass so tall, that he had to stand on a milkcrate to play the instrument. His dream is to someday play in the band with Doyle Lawson. See, there's that name again. He just can't get away from it.
