Jon Pousette-Dart (born 1952) is an American musician who leads the Pousette-Dart Band.[1]
Career
In the 1960s, Jon was a member of "Tony and the Tigers," which included Tony Fox and Hunt Sales, children of American comedian Soupy Sales. In 1973, Pousette-Dart formed the soft rock group Pousette-Dart Band in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They signed with Capitol Records[2] and are known for their albums "Amnesia" and "Pousette-Dart Band 3". Their song "For Love" reached #83 on the Billboard Singles Chart in 1979.[3]
After a breakup in 1981 and a reunion in 1991, the Pousette-Dart band reformed in 2008, and the group is still active in 2024. Combined with both "Pousette-Dart" and solo work, Jon has released over ten albums.[4] The song "Fall on Me" from the band's second album Amnesia was featured in the 11th episode of the second season of Lost.[5]
Family
He was born in Suffern, New York[4] in 1952 and is of Swedish descent. His double-barrelled surname came from his grandfather, who added his wife's surname "Dart" to his when they wed on April 16, 1913.[6]
Jon's father, Richard Pousette-Dart, was an abstract artist, and his grandfather was painter Nathaniel Pousette-Dart.[7][8]
