The Pousette-Dart Band successfully carved a place in the landscape of American music in the 1970s as they became a constant presence on the radio, a favorite on the college circuit and one of the busiest touring groups in the U.S., working with such acts as The Byrds, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, The J. Geils Band, Eddie Money, Manfred Mann, Jonathan Edwards, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Emmylou Harris, Gary Wright, Robert Palmer, Randy Newman, NRBQ and many more, including the now-famous Frampton Comes Alive tour, and the progressive Yes Fragile tour — playing arenas from coast to coast.

While the original group disbanded in the early ’80s, Jon kept performing with original drummer Eric Parker and continued writing and producing into the ’90s, when he returned to Nashville to begin recording again on his own. He’s turned out five solo albums including 2015’s TALK, a cohesive selection of his best songs to date. He has co-written with some of the finest writers in the country, including Darrell Scott, Gary Nicholson, Jaime Kyle, John Bohlinger, Angelo, Sally Barris and Angela Kaset.

Jon is currently touring solo, duo and with his highly entertaining band featuring Steve Roues on bass and harmony vocals and Jim Chapdelaine on guitar/vocals, who co-produced several of Jon’s records. Jon’s continued writing and travels have kept him engaged in Nashville, where the original band’s first albums were recorded with Norbert Putnam. He has continued performing nationally and writing steadily with many of the finest writers that embody the best of the American music scene.

It’s a real pleasure to welcome Jon’s duo back to the Me&Thee.
