A blogger named Reed Dunn has conducted an
interview with Jon. The interview contains several interesting things, but perhaps the most interesting is this statement: "'The touring this year, we have a lot of options open to us,' he said. 'We’ve spoken to some bands; we have just a lot of different ideas, but we haven’t solidified anything yet. It will be before the fall. At the latest, it will be the summertime.'”
So Jon may tour with another band. I think that is an effective approach. It would expose him to a larger audience. I would only hope that any other band he tours with would be compatible with his music.
Here is another good quote: "'I’m not intimidated by the business out here, he said. 'I think a lot of it is really strange. It’s kind of a land of fake, plastic people. And that’s kind of odd sometimes. I just like being kind of close to it all.'”
