Lon Bronson showed musical promise from the first day he picked up the trumpet as a fifth grader in Keene. He went on to win competitions, from 1st chair trumpet in All-State and All New England orchestras, to a scholarship to the New England Conservatory. But if you think this paved the way for a classical career, think again. For the past 19 years, Lon Bronson has been living in Las Vegas and setting the strip on fire with his band, Lon Bronson All-Star R&B, Rock & Soul Revue.

*Thank you, John Clayton
