Jon Cobbe Hume (born 6 November 1983) is the eldest of the three brothers who make up the New Zealand band Evermore. ^[1]^[2]

Early life

Hume was born in Lismore, Australia, but shortly after his family moved to New Zealand, where his brothers, Peter and Dann, were born in Feilding. The brothers all attended a local school until they were about twelve years of age, at which time, they became home schooled, primarily by their mother.

Career

Hume produces the majority of the band's work. He has also produced and mixed for artists such as Amy Meredith, Lisa Mitchell, Matt Corby and Adam Matin (The Voice).

In May 2012 Hume was featured on the Hook N Sling song "Surrender," which he co-wrote from his studio in rural Victoria (The Stables Recording Studio).

Instruments

Hume plays a Takemine 12 Steel String Electric Guitar and has many changes on stage with guitars, he can play either a 6 or a 12 steel string guitar either Acoustic or Electric. The brand of electric guitar he uses is Gretsch and Epiphone. In addition to the appearance change that came with their most recent album, Truth of the World: Welcome to the Show, Hume's guitar choice also changed. He began playing a heavily modified Epiphone Dot Studio which he had personally painted a custom silver and installed a Tenori-on display panel into, which was often left unused in live performances due to the difficulty of operation.
