Jeff Pilson Music

INTRODUCTION Bassist, songwriter, vocalist, producer and all around musician Jeff Pilson is probably best known for his work with the heavy rock group Dokken. He was a part of the classic line-up in the 80’s and again in the 90s as well as a reunion tour of Japan in 2016. He has also played with numerous other well-known acts such as Dio, MSG, and his own band War and Peace. Pilson now plays bass and serves as Musical Director for legendary rock band Foreigner, with whom he’s been since 2004. Pilson also acted alongside Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Anniston in the 2001 Warner Bros film “Rock Star”, where he also served as musical director. Along the way Pilson has also produced several albums for groups such as Warrant, the Starship, Adler (featuring Steven Adler of Guns and Roses), Last in Line, TNN, Foreigner (including the 2008 platinum CD No End In Sight) as well as the 2018 release of the song “Its Another Day” by Dokken. Pilson continues to tour, record and produce for Foreigner. 2018 saw the release of a new CD by the group called “Foreigner with the 21st Century Orchestra” recorded live in Lucerne Switzerland in May of 2017, where Pilson served as producer as well as a member of the band. In 2019 Pilson, as well as touring with Foreigner, put out 2 releases THE END machine, with former Dokken bandmates George Lynch and Mick Brown, and Black Swan with members of Whitesnake, Winger and MSG. On both he produced as well as played. 2020 started off with Foreigner doing 3 nights with the Nashville Symphony then on to Las Vegas where they did their first ever residency. Currently the producer and bassist for melodic hard rock supergroup Black Swan, featuring Robin McAuley on lead vocals, Reb Beach on guitar and Matt Starr drums, with their debut album Shake The World released on February 2020. Of course the world has momentarily stopped, but Foreigner keeps on going- no matter what! The internet has brought a whole new level of connection with bands and fans and Foreigner continues to work at the forefront of all that.
