Jon Pousette-Dart, best known as leader of the classic 70’s folk rock group, the Pousette-Dart Band, will be performing with bandmate Jim Chapdelaine at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick on FRIDAY, September 20th, 2024 at 7:30 pm as part of the UUCB Concerts for a Cause. All proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Brunswick Area Teen Center and Maine Family Planning..
The Pousette-Dart Band was a mainstay of album radio, a favorite on the college circuit and became one of the busiest touring groups in the US working with such acts as The Byrds, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, The Eagles, James Taylor, The J. Geils Band, and many more. They released 4 albums of harmony-filled, country-tinged folk-rock, and got plenty of radio play with songs including “Amnesia,” “What Can I Say,” and “Freezing Hot.”
Although the band formally broke up in 1981, Jon Pousette-Dart continued writing and producing and recording again on his own. He’s turned out five solo albums. The band members reunited in 1991 for a series of concerts, and a “Best Of” album was released in 1994. Since then, collaborations among various former personnel have continued.
Jon is back on the road with his longtime fellow bandmate, Jim Chapdelaine (Al Anderson, Phoebe Snow) on guitar/vocals, who co-produced several of Jon’s records. As a Duo they perform decades of music from the Capitol years up to the latest solo releases. Jon Pousette-Dart DUO has become one of the top Country and Folk artists in the 2024 music scene. Tonight, these long-touring musicians will bring music known by heart to a whole generation.
“…the missing link between the Byrds and Vince Gill, a folk rock legend.”
