Now, 27 years later, Jason is one of the most sought after musicians in town for a variety of instruments including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, fiddle, mandolin and ganjo.
Jason has toured with many of the artists you love including Joe Diffie, Daryl Worley, Tracy Lawrence, Mark Chesnutt, John Berry, Wynonna, Kellie Pickler, Gretchen Wilson, Collin Raye and Dolly Parton.
