Jon “SonofMel” Adler weaves 20 years of global wandering into songs, creating a genre of Americana he describes as “outlaw country with a passport.” He now resides in a place he calls “Wayward,” the hamlet of Hayward, Wisconsin, frequently performing at Out of the Woods Winery and Treeland Resorts. Adler blends his baritone vocals, plucky guitar playing and harmonica to tell his travel stories. He still hits the road, albeit for shorter distances. In Duluth, he’s hosted Wussow’s open mic nights and performed in Sacred Heart’s Duluth Does David Bowie concert, where he embodied the song “Queen Bitch” by donning a “frock coat and a bipperty-bopperty hat.”
