Jon is a founding member of Hamster Theatre; a somewhat avant-guard, somewhat folksy, instrumental group from Boulder/Denver. Performances by Hamster Theatre are becoming more rare. A new collection of recordings is long in the works.

Moon & Stars is a Foundation in Boulder, Colorado that is dedicated to celebrating the music and culture of Zimbabwe. The Kutandara Center hosts music classes and workshops for all ages and experience levels. Jon has played trombone, guitar, bass guitar, and drums in various configurations of bands at the Kutandara Center over the past 15 years.

ZiMBiRA Afro Fusion Band plays both traditional & contemporary music of Zimbabwe. Featuring the amazing Zivanai Masango, the band is a wonderful celebration of Zimbabwean music. Jon plays bass guitar with Zimbira.

Jon has enjoyed playing music-theater gigs ever since his first pit band experiences in high school. He first played at the BDT Stage (formerly, Boulder Dinner Theater) back in 1990 as a bass sub. In recent years he rejoined music director Neal Dunfee, and the rest of the pit band playing guitar and bass. On January 13, 2024, Jon performed with the very last show of Fiddler on the Roof, and now BDT Stage has closed its doors. The community came out and showed their support in the last several productions and gave BDT Stage the proper sendoff that was well deserved.
