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.
