Jonathan Dotson was born in the coastal town of St. Augustine, FL. He was raised around guitars and began performing professionally at the age of 13. While still in high school, Jonathan was featured on Jacksonville's public radio (89.9) and television (WJXT). Since leaving his hometown, Jonathan has studied with some of the nation's most esteemed pedagogues and performers, including Bruce Holzman, Adam Holzman, Andrew Zohn, and Mary Akerman. Jonathan is an avid supporter of new music for the guitar, and has performed several world premiers of brand new works by up and coming composers such as Daniel Nass, Justin Sharp, Brian Chamberlain, Marc Anthony Cruz, Joseph Eidson, and Andrew Dickenson. Effectively bringing the classical guitar to a new and increasingly diverse audience, Jonathan has been a regular guest on Houston's KUHF public radio station's 'The Front Row' program, as well as Austin's 'Fox 7' morning television program 'Good Day Austin'. He has also been featured on Austin radio station KUT 90.5's 'Austin Music Minute' with Theresa Ferguson, promoting his 'Classical Afternoon' at the hip outdoor Austin Cafe, 'The Spider House', a weekly informal classical guitar concert he gave every Sunday for eight months, to critical acclaim and a loyal following.
