Biography


As a teenager, Jon Carin started his professional musical career with the band Industry as their lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter. During his time with the band, they had a hit single with "State of the Nation" in 1984, being followed by the album Stranger to Stranger.[2]

In 1985, he was asked by Industry's producer, Rhett Davies, to work with Bryan Ferry for his Boys and Girls album.[3] Later in 1985, he joined Bryan Ferry at Live Aid, where he first played with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.[4]

The following year, Carin collaborated with Gilmour in the sessions for what would become Pink Floyd's album A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987). He received credit as a keyboardist and for co-writing "Learning to Fly".[5] He participated in the support tour for the album, performing alongside returning keyboardist Richard Wright, and appeared on the 1988 Pink Floyd double live album, Delicate Sound of Thunder.[6] In 1992, Carin participated in the recording of the soundtrack for La Carrera Panamericana. Two years later, in 1994, Carin contributed keyboards to Pink Floyd's album The Division Bell (1994).[7] He also participated on the Division Bell tour and was featured on the Pulse CD and DVD.[8]

Carin performed with the Who, playing Quadrophenia in its entirety in 1996, at London's Hyde Park, which led to an extensive tour throughout much of 1996–97.[citation needed]

On August 16, 1998, he produced and played keyboards and drums for Pete Townshend for a concert to raise money for the Maryville Academy. In 1999, a CD of this concert was released, being produced by Carin.[9]

Throughout the summers of the late 1990s and early 2000s, he was on tour with former Pink Floyd bassist, Roger Waters, for his In the Flesh tour. This makes him one of few musicians who has played with both Roger Waters and Pink Floyd after Waters' departure from the band.

In 2006, Carin worked on the self-titled solo album by The Psychedelic Furs' frontman Richard Butler. He wrote, arranged and played all of the instrumental parts, as well as producing and engineering the album. The album was co-dedicated to Carin's late father and Butler's late father.
