In addition to his four solo albums, the most recent The Sad Lights released by Drums &amp; Wires Recordings in early 2024, Jon has brought his vocal and multi-instrumental talents to recordings by artists such as Karl Blau, Laura Veirs, The Walkabouts, Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, Transmissionary Six, Jim White, 1Uppers, and many others.<hr>Project of Seattle-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Paul Hiraga, Downpilot has released several critically lauded albums in the U.S. and Europe on Hamburg's Tapete Records.
