When Jason was a teenager, he was able to see live performances by some of the great Blues masters such as Muddy Waters and Howlin\u2019 Wolf, and when he approached Albert King, his favorite, in 1970, he asked \u201cI love the way you play guitar, what can I do to learn to play like you?\u201d \u00a0Albert responded, \u201cJust listen to the records on your hi-fi and play along.\u201d That\u2019s what he did.

For his first ever solo album, Jason has chosen a blues format that makes him feel at home. His album, \u201cFind Me Now\u201d, contains original songs and a few blues classics from Howlin Wolf, Bukka White and Albert King. His dynamic live performances will grab you and take you on an emotional ride, with touching original songs filled with heartfelt solos that will leave you transformed. When he sings and plays, he wears his heart on his sleeve.\u00a0
