Jon has been in the music industry his entire life and knows his stuff about what makes a good track, and how to live off your music these days. He has recently collaborated with Miranda Lambert and Jack Ingram on The Marfa Tapes and talks about how that project happened.

A great storyteller with great energy, we have a great connection talking about food, music, culture, and our love of Texas...
