Jason Falkner (born June 2, 1968) is an American pop and rock musician. He has performed with several bands, as well as a solo artist.

In 1996, he released the album Jason Falkner Presents Author Unknown, which was produced, written, and performed almost entirely by Falkner (the only exception being some guitar overdub done by Alain Johannes). Although it received strong critical reviews, it was not a commercial success. During that same year, he wrote several songs on Brendan Benson’s album One Mississippi, and played various instruments on a 1996 Susanna Hoffs release. In 1997, he worked with Eric Matthews’ on a second album, The Lateness of the Hour, co-producing and assisting on five tracks.

In 1999, Falkner released Can You Still Feel?, another album written and performed as an entire solo effort, it was produced with Nigel Godrich. In 2000 Jason kept very busy, touring and contributing to various projects. He recorded a song for a tribute album, and played backup on Roger Manning and Brian Reitzell’s album Logan’s Sanctuary.

In 2007 Jason is credited as performing several instruments on Becks release from that year, “The Information”. It is also rumored that Jason does some limited touring as part of Beck’s band.
He released his third album I’m OK… You’re OK in Japan. (read more)

author unknown.. amazing album. also he contributed to paul mccartney's chaos and creation album which was also good, he was only like one of three other artists on that album besides macca.

What I love about Jason's albums is that they always hit me after about a half dozen listens. They seem like nothing special at first--almost like clockwork--but then they hit me a few weeks or months in. From that point on, though, I absolutely love them and never stop, always hearing new details in his songwriting or arrangements. I guess this is why he's never hit the bigtime.

Too weird -- why is Jon Brion not listed as a similar artist?! They were in The GRays togeter and there are Power Pop similarities, for sure.
