FAQ

Do you play non-Quaker events?

Yes! Many of Jon Watts’ songs contain no direct references to quirky Quaker culture and his message is universal.

Do you play sing-alongs for children?

Sure! Requires some advanced notice.

Is your musical ministry always playful and fun?

Some of Jon’s songs are very serious, such as There’s a Spirit in Iraq, which was written about a mentor named Tom Fox who was killed in 2006 while working for The Christian Peacemaker Teams in Bagdhahd.

Is your ministry always serious and intense?

No! Jon loves lightheartedness and play. See the song Friend Speaks My Mind.
