Jon Pousette-Dart is best known as an American classic and folk rock songwriter, musician, and performing artist. Growing up in Suffern, NY with a household of artists, including his father, grandfather, and sister, he separated himself by picking up a guitar at the age of 10 and mapping out a life in music before he ever attended a little league game. Since then it’s been a long and well-traveled road in the world of music.
The Pousette-Dart Band, led by Jon Pousette-Dart, carved a place in the landscape of American music in the 1970s. They were a mainstay of album radio, a favorite on the college circuit, and became one of the busiest touring groups in the US.
Jon and I talked about his songs, inspiration, and performing. Speaking of performing, Jon will be at Caffe Lena on July 14th.
