'''Jon Brion''' (born December 11, 1963) is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and composer. He performed with the Excerpts, the Bats, [['Til Tuesday]] and [[The Grays (band)|the Grays]] before becoming an established producer and film score composer.

According to ''[[Stereogum]],'' Brion's work on Mann's first solo albums "lay the groundwork for a sound that became synonymous with a strain of notable alternative acts at the turn of the century".<ref name="stereogum">{{cite web |author=Bleggi |first=Doug |date=November 21, 2018 |title='Til Today: 25 years after her solo debut, Aimee Mann looks back |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2021942/aimee-mann-early-solo-albums-interview/franchises/interview/ |access-date=February 8, 2019 |website=[[Stereogum]]}}</ref>

Brion's film scores include  ''[[Hard Eight (film)|Hard Eight]]'' (1996), ''[[Magnolia (film)|Magnolia]]'' (1999), ''[[Punch-Drunk Love]]'' (2002), ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]'' and ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]'' (both 2004), ''[[Synecdoche, New York]]'' (2008), ''[[ParaNorman]]'' (2012), ''[[Lady Bird (film)|Lady Bird]]'' (2017), and ''[[Christopher Robin (film)|Christopher Robin]]'' (2018). He released his debut solo album, ''[[Meaningless (album)|Meaningless]]'', in 2001.

==Early life==
Brion was born in [[Glen Ridge, New Jersey|Glen Ridge]], [[New Jersey]], on December 11, 1963. He comes from a musical family; his mother, LaRue, was a singer and administrative assistant, and his father, [[Keith Brion]], was a band director at [[Yale]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/17/Jon-Brion.html |title=Jon Brion Biography (1963?-) |publisher=Filmreference.com |access-date=2012-02-08}}</ref> His brother and sister became a composer/arranger and a violinist, respectively. Brion grew up in Connecticut, where he dropped out of [[Hamden High School]] at the age of 17, opting instead to play music professionally. From 1980 to 1985 Jon was part of the band The Excerpts, along with Stephen Harris, Dean Falcone, Jim Balga, Bobby Butcher & Spike Priggen.<ref>{{cite web|author=US |url=http://www.myspace.com/theexcerpts |title=The Excerpts &#124; Gratis muziek, tourneedata, foto's, video's |publisher=Myspace.com |access-date=2012-02-08}}</ref>

==Career==
===The Bats===
In the early 1980s, Brion and musician/producer Bill Murphy began a writing collaboration in [[New Haven, Connecticut]]. They eventually enlisted bassist Don "Riff" Fertman and together formed the Bats (not to be confused with the [[The Bats (New Zealand band)|New Zealand group]] or [[The Bats (South African band)|South African group]] of the same name). The Bats released a single, "Popgun", and one album, ''[[How Pop Can You Get?]]'', on Gustav Records in 1982. The recordings had much critical acclaim, but little commercial success, and the trio eventually disbanded.

===Session work===
In 1987, Brion moved to [[Boston]], where he played solo gigs, formed the short-lived band World's Fair and became a member of the last touring version of [[Aimee Mann]]'s [[New wave music|new wave]] band [['Til Tuesday]]. He contributed guitar work to [[Jellyfish (band)|Jellyfish]]'s 1993 album [[Spilt Milk (Jellyfish album)|''Spilt Milk'']], and in 1994, joined Dan McCarroll, Buddy Judge and ex-Jellyfish guitarist [[Jason Falkner]] in the short-lived pop band [[The Grays (band)|the Grays]]. He also played guitar on [[the Wallflowers]]' hit song "[[One Headlight]]", using a screwdriver that was sitting atop a nearby amp as a slide.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gYuMOUYwgvIC&q=one+headlight+screwdriver+solo&pg=PA66|title=Analog Recording: Using Analog Gear in Today's Home Studio|last=Simons|first=David|date=2006|publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation|isbn=9780879308643|language=en}}</ref> Brion played numerous instruments on [[Sam Phillips (singer)|Sam Phillips]]' 1996 release ''[[Omnipop (It's Only A Fleshwound Lambchop)|Omnipop]]''. Brion is featured as keyboardist and drummer on [[Marianne Faithfull]]'s 2003 album, ''[[Kissin Time]]'', and co-wrote a song, "City of Quartz", for her next work, 2005's ''[[Before the Poison]]''.  In 2009, Brion conttibuted mutli-instrumentation to the Nonesuch <ref>{{Citation |title=Nonesuch Records |date=2025-03-02 |work=Wikipedia |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nonesuch_Records&oldid=1278501090 |access-date=2025-05-27 |language=en}}</ref>debut, [[Christina Courtin]].

===Production===
After being recognized as an accomplished session player, Brion branched out into production on then-girlfriend Mann's 1993 solo debut, ''[[Whatever (Aimee Mann album)|Whatever]]'', and its follow-up, ''[[I'm with Stupid (album)|I'm With Stupid]]''. He has also produced albums by [[Fiona Apple]], [[Rufus Wainwright]], [[Eleni Mandell]], [[Rhett Miller]], [[Robyn Hitchcock]], [[Brad Mehldau]] and [[Evan Dando]], and co-produced [[Kanye West]]'s ''[[Late Registration]]'' in 2005.

In the fall of 2002, Brion began producing the album ''[[Extraordinary Machine]]'' with Fiona Apple, but she later brought in producers [[Mike Elizondo]] and [[Brian Kehew]] (a friend of Brion's) to complete the album. Brion's versions leaked onto the Internet, where the album gained a cult following long before its official release.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/03/arts/music/the-lost-apple.html|title=The Lost Apple|last=Pareles|first=Jon|date=2005-04-03|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-10-01|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Brion worked and performed on some of the tracks for [[Sean Lennon]]'s 2006 album ''[[Friendly Fire (Sean Lennon album)|Friendly Fire]]''. Lennon said that working with him was "how I would imagine it's like to work with [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]. It's like having a weird alien prodigy in your room."<ref>[http://www.thedepaulia.com/story.asp?artid=1953&sectid=5 "Here comes the son"], Interview, by Scott Bolohan, ''The Depaulia''. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070315095425/http://www.thedepaulia.com/story.asp?artid=1953&sectid=5 |date=March 15, 2007 }}</ref>

Brion has produced recordings by British pop performer [[Dido (singer)|Dido]], [[Spoon (band)|Spoon]], and [[Keane (band)|Keane]], as well as 2010's ''[[False Priest]]'' by [[Of Montreal]]. Brion also produced [[Best Coast]]'s second album which was released in early 2012.<ref>[http://pitchfork.com/news/45012-best-coast-talks-grown-up-new-album-working-with-jon-brion/ "Best Coast Talks "Grown-Up" New Album, Working With Jon Brion"], [[Pitchfork Media]] .</ref> Brion worked on rapper [[Mac Miller]]'s album ''[[Swimming (Mac Miller album)|Swimming]]'' (2018), and completed production on Miller's posthumous album ''[[Circles (Mac Miller album)|Circles]]'' (2020).<ref name="Circles announcement">{{cite magazine|last=Blistein|first=Jon|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mac-miller-posthumous-album-circles-release-date-935064/|title=Mac Miller's Family Details Posthumous Album 'Circles'|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200108220348/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mac-miller-posthumous-album-circles-release-date-935064/|archive-date=January 8, 2020|url-status=live|date=January 8, 2020|access-date=January 8, 2020|magazine=Rolling Stone}}</ref>

According to ''[[Stereogum]],'' Brion's work on Aimee Mann's first solo albums "lay the groundwork for a sound that became synonymous with a strain of notable alternative acts at the turn of the century".<ref name="stereogum" />

===''Meaningless''===
Brion was signed to the [[Lava Records|Lava]]/[[Atlantic Records|Atlantic]] label in 1997, but was released from his contract after turning in his solo debut album ''[[Meaningless (album)|Meaningless]]''; the album was released independently in 2001. In 2022, the album was remastered and re-released through Jealous Butcher Records, with Brion's approval.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cat. No. JB210 – Jealous Butcher Records |url=https://www.jealousbutcher.com/products/meaningless |access-date=2023-07-10 |website=www.jealousbutcher.com |language=en}}</ref>

Although, rumors persist about Brion working on a second solo full-length album, as of 2023, an album has not been forthcoming. In 2004, Aimee Mann stated "Jon has at least 10 albums' worth of material," and "I think he has a hard time saying anything is finished whether he's producing or doing his own songs. Jon's a perfectionist."<ref>{{cite news |title=Lost in the Music |work=The New York Times |date=August 17, 2003 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/17/magazine/lost-in-the-music.html |access-date=August 25, 2023 |last1=Rodrick |first1=Stephen }}</ref>

===Film scores===
Brion is an accomplished film composer, having started scoring by frequently working with director [[Paul Thomas Anderson]], with whom he has a preferential working relationship.  In addition to scoring many of his films, Brion contributed music to ''[[Boogie Nights]]'' and had a cameo in the film as a moustached guitar player.

Particularly in his film soundtracks, Brion is noted for his use of early analog sampling instruments, particularly the [[Chamberlin]] and [[Optigan]], to create near-realistic emulations of certain instruments.<ref>[https://www.avclub.com/jon-brion-1798213162 Interview by David Wolinsky] at [[The A.V. Club]]</ref>

He has earned [[Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media|Best Score Soundtrack Album Grammy]] nominations for his work on 1999's ''[[Magnolia (movie)|Magnolia]]'' and 2004's ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]''.

Brion was hired at the last minute to write the incidental music for ''[[The Break-Up]]''. He has also scored and provided original music for ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]'', ''[[Punch-Drunk Love]]'', ''[[Step Brothers (film)|Step Brothers]]'' (with [[Chris Thile]]), ''[[ParaNorman]]'', ''[[The Future (film)|The Future]]'', ''[[Synecdoche, New York]],'' [[Greta Gerwig]]'s ''[[Lady Bird (film)|Lady Bird]]'' and Disney's ''[[Christopher Robin (film)|Christopher Robin]]'' (with [[Geoff Zanelli]]). He also did live composition for a musical commentary on the ''Step Brothers'' DVD.

He also composed the score to the Disney/[[Pixar]] short film, ''The Blue Umbrella'', working alongside Sarah Jaffe.

==Touring and live performances==
Brion is renowned for his regular Friday-night gigs at the Los Angeles club [[Largo (nightclub)|Largo]], which feature covers and original songs, a variety of instruments and occasional guest musicians and comedians.  He works without a set list, instead using audience suggestions as a jumping-off point.  He uses a "jigsaw puzzle" approach to performing songs, and uses looping systems to record himself starting often with drums, then adding piano, bass, guitar, and vocals. Over the years, shows have featured spontaneous appearances with [[Jackson Browne]], [[Gillian Welch]], [[Fiona Apple]], [[Rickie Lee Jones]] with upright bassist Stephen Patt (ex-[[The Chambers Brothers]]), [[Aimee Mann]], [[Elliott Smith]], [[Ben Folds]], [[Nels Cline]], percussionist [[Matt Chamberlain]], [[Tori Amos]], bassist [[Sebastian Steinberg]] (ex-[[Soul Coughing]]), and fiddler [[Sara Watkins]] ([[Nickel Creek]]).

In April 2006, recurring tendonitis in Brion's right hand forced him to cancel all of his upcoming Largo shows.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Battling Tendonitis, Brion Tiptoes Back Into Performing |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/battling-tendonitis-brion-tiptoes-back-into-performing-57991/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=August 25, 2023}}</ref>  As a temporary 'farewell', he played one show only using his left hand, even looping his songs as he normally does and playing the drums with one stick.  He resumed playing at Largo on a regular weekly basis later that year, transitioning to a monthly show in 2016,<ref>{{cite web |title=Jon Brion Concert Setlists |url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/jon-brion-33d6a451.html |website=Setlist.fm |access-date=August 25, 2023}}</ref> until the COVID-19 Pandemic.<ref>{{cite web |title=TBS's 'Conan' to Broadcast from Largo Los Angeles |url=https://www.vulture.com/2020/07/conan-to-broadcast-from-largo-los-angeles.html |website=Vulture |date=July 2, 2020 |access-date=August 25, 2023}}</ref> In summer 2023, Brion stated to Largo at the Coronet that he intended to resume shows in the near future.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jon Brion at Largo July 2023 |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CvNZOCTJf3z/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== |access-date=August 25, 2023 |website=Largo Los Angeles Instagram}}</ref> Brion resumed shows at Largo in September 2023.[https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxN28HMLDRV/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==]

Recalling his approach to the Largo shows with ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' music editor Lou Carlozo, Brion said: "I taught my hands to follow whatever was coming into my head—and wherever my consciousness would go, I had to push my hands to follow. And at some level, you just had to abandon any concern about how you'd look. Performing without a set list: That was special."

In March 2016, Brion performed his score for ''[[Punch-Drunk Love]]'' with [[Wordless Music Orchestra]] in both Los Angeles and New York City, at the [[Ace Hotel]] and the [[Brooklyn Academy of Music]], respectively. [[Norah Jones]] provided guest vocals in New York and [[Joanna Newsom]] in Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vulture.com/2016/03/jon-brion-remembers-punch-drunk-love.html# |title=Jon Brion on the Music of Punch-Drunk Love |publisher=Vulture.com |date=2016-03-16 |access-date=2017-03-15}}</ref>

In February 2018, Brion opened for [[John Mulaney]] as part of Mulaney's special, ''Kid Gorgeous''. Brion performed during Mulaney's New York City leg of his tour, playing classic rock songs on Radio City's Mighty [[Wurlitzer]] [[pipe organ]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/john-mulaney-announces-new-album-kid-gorgeous-at-radio-city/|title=John Mulaney Announces New Album Kid Gorgeous at Radio City|first=Sam|last=Sodomsky|website=Pitchfork|date=August 2018 |access-date=August 16, 2020}}</ref>
