Weingart again performed with Steve Lukather (guitar and vocals) at shows in California during October 2008, and in Japan with Simon Phillips. Lukather's "No Jazz Tour" featured material from each of Lukather's solo albums, and some rarely performed Toto songs. Weingart again joined Lukather for further "Ever Changing Times" tour dates in Europe during early 2009, and on another European tour during the summer of 2009, ending with three dates in Los Angeles in October 2009. Throughout 2009, Weingart continued to perform at various other gigs across the States, including NAMM, and fronting his own band, featuring Katisse Buckingham, Ronnie Guitterez, Jimmy Earl, Eric Valentine, performances with Simon Phillips, as well as a guest appearance at the James Burton Guitar Festival in August 2009, and at a Janis Joplin tribute concert in Cleveland, Ohio, in November 2009. During breaks between his touring commitments in 2009, Weingart recorded his third solo album, following "Life Times Vol.1" and "Dark Blue Dream", featuring his wife, Renee Jones, on bass guitar. The resulting album, "Dialogue", includes his own lead vocals and appearances from Steve Lukather, Victor Wooten, Mike Miller, Lenny Castro, Katisse Buckingham and Simon Phillips. Weingart, Jones, Buckingham and Phillips performed at release parties for "Dialogue" at the Baked Potato in North Hollywood. Weingart teamed with Lukather again for his late 2010 album, "All's Well That Ends Well" and the 2013 album, "Transition". Weingart and Renee Jones have toured in Europe with Steve Lukather and Eric Valentine. During early 2012, they toured with Lukather's band to perform in Australia with G3 featuring Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, followed by a short tour of Japan. November 2012 brought the release of "Observatory" their second album in as many years, the husband and wife duo of keyboardist and pianist, Steve Weingart and bassist, Renee Jones continue to celebrate and redefine the music that has inspired them for nearly four decades. Tapping into the influence of music legends like Joe Zawinul and Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter, Weingart and Jones have dramatically thrust the genre in new directions by expressing a potent mixture of compositional risk, a refined sonic palette and superb musical craftsmanship. Weingart's musical influences include Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, McCoy Tyner, Weather Report, Robert Lamm and Chicago (band).
