Geils Band, Eddie Money, Manfred Mann, Jonathan Edwards, Emmylou Harris, Billy Joel and many more.

Over the years, the Pousette-Dart Band released four critically hailed harmony-filled, country-tinged folk-rock albums for Capitol Records including the compilation, The Best of Pousette-Dart Band. The band got plenty of airplay across the country with such songs as “Amnesia,” “What Can I Say,” and “Freezing Hot.”

In recent years, Jon has reignited his musical career beginning with a recorded reunion with his colleagues aptly entitled It’s About Time. He is once again touring with singer-guitarist Jim Chapdelaine, who will join him in Marblehead. Jon has a gilded tenor and a smooth hand on the guitar and although he made his name in the age of vinyl, Pousette-Dart has had no problem adapting to the changing tides.

Jon’s earliest influences includes Elvis Presley and Ricky Nelson but after he was exposed to the gritty blues of John Hammond and Muddy Waters, his musical landscape expanded as he fell in love with the whole melting pot of music where rhythm and blues meets rock ’n’ roll meets folk.
