Jon's Management Team fully assembled:
In a diligent search to find the necessary pieces of his team, Jon has completed a key piece of the puzzle by hiring legendary Manager Ron Eckerman. Ron has an illustrious career with over thirty years experience in the industry, managing such acts as Fleetwood Mac, Lynard Skynard, John Mayer, as well as being an instrumental part of several successful Movies and Television productions over the years.
"Having someone of Ron's class and caliber to represent you is both a privilege and an honor", says Jon. "You don't get many opportunities to have someone with his vast experience and successful track record represent you and change your life inexorably, so to have this chance to have him represent me was a no brainer".
Mr. Eckerman's plans amongst the many include submitting Jon's music to several high end TV shows and Movies for performance royalties, recording Jon's latest CD "Long Days, Long Nights" beginning in the summer with a release set for sometime in early 2011. A national tour is also in the works in the near future, as well as several key Television performances, a live DVD performance from the new record, as well as some local private high end performances within Los Angeles are planned. Stay tuned for more exciting details as they will continue to unfold in the near future.
Jon is also working with Jervonny Collier, bassist for Bruce Hornsby, while regular band member Takashi Iio is taking some much needed personal time off and is set to rejoin the band later this year.

From LooseyLucy's News:
Jon Dowling's Trials and Tribulations is a beautifully arranged collection of pop rock piano songs. The album starts strong with the powerful, Bruce Hornsby-influenced single, "Out of the Dark." "Here to Stay" has soulful lead and background vocals with an amazing piano solo by Philippe Saisse. The energetic, "The Second Time Around," and the slower paced, "All Things Considered," are great pop rock tunes with catchy melodies. The introspective, "Reason for the Season," is sewn together with thoughtful lyrics and a memorable piano hook. Lyrically, Jon Dowling is not your typical pop rocker. He tackles lifes problems with meaningful themes. "Proud Worker" is a tribute to all of the hard-working people of America. "Highway in My Mind" is empowering, and "The Likes of You," with its driving beat, is a song about people that put other people down and what to do to overcome the hurt. Jon does also have his lighter side. "Stress Sandwich" will have you dancing your cares away. Overall, excellent album!!!-
