A Certified Public Accountant by trade his musical career was dormant for 25 years until one day he realized he was "Closer To The End" of his time on earth than the beginning.

Jon Stern

Growing up in the Cleveland Ohio area, this vocalist / bassist / songwriter was immersed in a world of music from Folk, Blues and Rock to Jazz, Reggae and even Bluegrass. Jon has achieved a reputation for his solid vocal work as well as his tasty bass and guitar arrangements. Also in demand as an ‘Instant Sideman,’ Jon was a last-minute fill-in for other band’s personnel who couldn’t be there—or to back up and enhance the presence of solo performers. “In Northeast Ohio, the competition among bands is really fierce! You need to be top-notch to have even a chance of standing out,” he notes. “ I still carry that attitude today, in that I’m never totally satisfied with CTTE’s latest performance. We are still forging and tempering these tunes. I always hear what could be improved, and that’s a blessing and a curse. Just ask Steve or Hiram about that,” Jon says with a grin.
