Happy Birthday: Jason Falkner (50)

A founding member of the late, great San Francisco power poppers Jellyfish, Falkner is a talented solo artist who once teamed up with fellow producer/multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion to form The Grays (whose sole release was 1994's underrated and out of print album Ro Sham Bo on Epic Records) and has collaborated with the likes of Air, Beck, Brendan Benson, Chris Cornell, and Paul McCartney.

Currently on the road as lead guitarist and backing vocalist for the aforementioned Beck's European tour, Falkner's "I Live" is a delicious slice of '70s AM-radio power pop from his 1996 solo debut album Jason Falkner presents Author Unknown [Elektra].
