ABOUT JONATHAN MOODY
Jonathan Moody’s musical resume reads like a road trip itinerary. From touring Europe in an orchestra, standing onstage at the Telluride Jazz Festival, solo bass guitar performances around the US and a very liberal amount of rock gigs in dive bars, Moody remains mobile by playing for “whoever asks first.”
Moody currently navigates between jazz-fusion sextet ASPHALT, Kalamazoo-based cover band KiND, Music Director at Unity of Kalamazoo as well as pit musician in the SW Michigan theatre scene. Moody brings a strong foundation and genre authenticity to each and every gig.
At home in Kalamazoo, MI, Moody is a dad, coffee and taco enthusiast and occasional cartoonist/illustrator.
