Jon Brion Playing Tonic

Jon Brion is playing two shows at Tonic on April 27th to coincide with the Tribeca Film Festival.

"Jon Brion has emerged as the most successful of a new crop of film composers who have strayed from the independent music flock. Brion boasts a pop aesthetic honed by his songwriting with The Grays and Jellyfish, as well as his production work with Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple, and his buoyant soundscapes-- often bubbling with enveloping orchestral strokes and theatrical wall-of-sound presentation-- have, most notably, contributed to the maudlin grandeur of film directors P.T. Anderson and Michel Gondry." - Pitchfork

"It's that very obsessive dedication and guaranteed quality that has made Brion somewhat of an industry legend. His tight-pinched hooks and broad lush strokes, his mastery of countless kooky instruments and his jaw-dropping creativity have racked an impressive resume. He has helped shape and define the careers of Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple and produced countless others, including Rhett Miller, the Eels and Rufus Wainright. Critically acclaimed movie director Paul Thomas Anderson also recruited Brion to oversee the soundtracks for his movies Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love." - Rolling Stone
