The Jon Cohen Experimental is the brainchild of Montreal musician and songwriter Jon Cohen. Having been a key member of such diverse and popular bands as The Dears, The Social Register and many more, Jon formed his own group in the spring of 2006 as a response to over a decade of service to the prolific Montreal music scene. The results were two beautifully crafted albums of which their second, the apt-titled 'Behold', was recorded by maverick producer Dave Draves (Julie Doiron, Jim Bryson, Kathleen Edwards). The album was released in late 2010 to mass-critical appeal and features guest-musicians like Angela Desveaux, Evan Cranley (Stars, BSS), Liam O’Neil (Stills) and Murray Lightburn (Dears).
