Jason commenced his musical voyage in his hometown of Galesburg, IL back in 1991, where his initial infatuation with heavy metal & grunge, gave way to blues luminaries like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, & Stevie Ray Vaughan. In the mid-90s, pivotal moments witnessing The Allman Brothers & Grateful Dead prompted a transformative shift in his musical perspective. Immersed in the influences of these iconic bands, Jason began crafting a distinctive guitar style that traversed across multiple music genres. Embracing the sounds of bands like Government Mule, Moe, & Leftover Salmon in the late 90s, he charted a new musical course amidst the Colorado Mountains. In 2000, armed with his truck & his first Mandolin, he made the journey westward to Colorado Springs. His inaugural open mic appearance landed him as the lead guitarist in The Old Dog Band, a pivotal moment that set his trajectory towards future Colorado projects-Creating a Newsense, The J.Miller Band & Woodshed Red.
