For six years, Jason was a driving force of international selling rock band, Bad Side.  Jason not only co-wrote all of the songs but co-Produced all three Bad Side CD’s.  Jason’s guitar work was the foundation for Bad Side’s hard-driving sound.  Bad Side was fortunate enough to work with  legendary Producer Beau Hill - who turned the knobs for million sellers from Ratt, Warrant, Winger, Alice Cooper and many more.  When Bad Side called it quits in 2010.  Jason moved to Nashville and began work on his debut solo CD   Music City proved to be a great avenue for Jason to explore all the areas of his musical roots.  Jason has been crafting his debut CD with a “back to basics” approach.  “Rock music is about GUITARS!” says Jason.  “The guitar has to be the number one element”  All of the songs on Jason’s forthcoming solo CD were composed on guitar. Jason was recently contracted to host a brand new Singer/Songwriter showcase series that takes place at “The Limit” nightclub on Printer’s Alley in Downtown Nashville, TN - check out Jason’s Facebook page for more details!
