Jon Herington

Jon Herington is a versatile guitarist and singer-songwriter best known as the longtime lead guitarist for Steely Dan, touring and recording with the band since the late 1990s. Beyond his iconic role shaping their polished jazz-rock sound, Herington has carved out a solo career brimming with witty songwriting and genre-blending craftsmanship. His solo work—including albums like *Adult Entertainment*, *Time On My Hands*, and the *Quiet* series—showcases his knack for blending jazz sophistication, bluesy grit, and hook-driven rock, often with a lyrical twist of dry humor. A respected "musician's musician," he’s also collaborated with artists like Bette Midler, Donald Fagen, and Boz Scaggs. Recent releases like *(Quiet) Encore* and *Like So* prove he’s still refining his signature mix of technical brilliance and laid-back charm, both on stage and in the studio.
