​KUPR is delighted to host Jono Manson in the intimate setting of La Estrella Event Center. His newest album, Bootlegger Days, was a collaboration with longtime musical friend John Popper of Blues Traveler. It was just released in September and you can expect to hear some of its classic Blues, R&B and Americana. Here is what is being said about it:

​​"In any other business but the notoriously unfair music biz ... Jono Manson would have a higher profile ... He is a master of his craft and deserving of far more recognition" (Glide Magazine, March 2023)

"... a genuinely wonderful offering featuring blues, country, soul, funk, rock and Americana. For my money, it's probably going to be one of the best albums of 2023 – it really is that good!" (Blues Matters Magazine)
