Jon Bailey is a drummer/percussionist hailing from Fredericton. He completed a Bachelor of Music degree in classical percussion at Acadia University in 2009. He went on to pursue his passion for Cuban music in Havana, Cuba, where he has had the chance to study with some of the island’s most celebrated percussionists.
