Fall Jazz Series: Jonathan Karrant Quartet

Audiences have characterized Jonathan as a great interpreter of song, a storyteller, a singer who brings music and lyric alive.

Jonathan Karrant was born in the heart of America at the foothills of the Ozarks in the old western town of Fort Smith, Arkansas east of the Arkansas River. As a teenager, Jonathan was active in local theatre, and studied music and theatre in middle and high schools. Jonathan began to take every opportunity to sing and perform at all kinds of events, weddings, celebrations, at church, in clubs and lounges, wherever he was asked to perform.

After performing as a soloist with the Don Bailey Jazz Concerts, he was advised to head out to Las Vegas. Without ever visiting there, he drove across country and jumped into the music scene, singing in supper clubs, lounges and casinos. While there, he had the opportunity to record with Vince Falcone, noted music director and pianist. He has traveled for performances across the states as well as in Europe. He continues to grow an adoring and loyal following of fans who appreciate his artistry.

Jonathan was honored in the 2014 New York City Jazz Cabaret Honors and, in 2015, he was voted “Best Singer” for the Bravo San Diego Awards. Also, in 2015 Jonathan was asked to present two-time Grammy Award winner, Diane Schuur, with the proclamation of “Diane Schuur Day” in Palm Springs, California.
