Jon Brion

Jon Brion is a masterfully versatile American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who has become a defining architect of modern alternative pop and cinematic soundscapes. Renowned for his idiosyncratic, orchestrally informed production, he has shaped seminal albums for artists like Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, and Rufus Wainwright, while famously bridging the gap between hip-hop and baroque pop as the co-producer of Kanye West’s Late Registration and completing the posthumous Mac Miller album, Circles. As a film composer, Brion’s evocative and experimental scores for directors like Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love) and Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) have earned him critical acclaim and multiple Grammy nominations for their emotional depth. He is perhaps most beloved in Los Angeles for his legendary residency at Largo at the Coronet, where he performs completely improvised solo sets, looping various instruments in real time and reimagining audience requests with virtuosic flair. Fans can experience this one-of-a-kind musical alchemy live during his upcoming performance at Largo on Friday, January 2, 2026, a show that continues his decades-long tradition of pushing the boundaries of the live concert experience.
