Bon Voyage is a musical duo consisting of Jason Martin of Starflyer 59 and his wife, Julie. Jason was kind of bored and writing a lot of songs around this time. But because he couldn't put out too many more Starflyer 59 albums per year than he already was, his extra songs became Bon Voyage songs. Martin wanted a really fancy name for the project like Chanel (as in the French perfume), but of course they couldn't use that. Jeff Cloud asked “what about Bon Voyage?” and the name stuck.

The duo's first release was in 1996 when they released Issue 1, a 7“ recording on Jeff Cloud's record label Velvet Blue Music. They appeared again in 1997 when they released a follow up 7”, Issue 2. By 1998, Bon Voyage had signed on to BEC Records to release their first CD, entitled Bon Voyage. The group remained mostly silent until 2002 when Tooth & Nail Records released The Right Amount. They worked with Tooth & Nail again to release their 2008 album Lies.
