Jonathan Segel (b. September 3, 1963 in Marseilles, France) is an American composer and multi-instrumentalist. He has played with Camper Van Beethoven and Dieselhed.
Growing up in Davis, California and Tucson, Arizona, Jonathan went to college at UCSC in Santa Cruz, CA where he studied under Peter Elsea and experimental music pioneer Gordon Mumma.
