The Vault
As with all great artists, Jason’s collection of music comes with a unique (and very “Key West”) story behind it. Upon arriving to start his new career in Key West on the night of December 12th, 2014, he and his wife Jordan discovered the house they rented was still fully occupied by the previous tenants with no sign of them vacating in the near future. Left without a home in an unfamiliar town, Jason and Jordan, and their dog Charlie, slept in the “office space” above the future Green Room music venue for a few weeks while searching for a more-suitable place to live. It definitely wasn’t ideal, but their enthusiasm wasn’t dampened. They were in Key West! And what an unexpectedly great way to get some practice, test the equipment, reap some stage time, and start recording before the big opening.
Jason made a name for himself in the Key West music scene playing exclusively at The Green Room almost every night of the week for a year, an opportunity he will always be grateful for. When his contract as Head of Entertainment and House Musician expired, he was ready to spread his wings and do his own thing; it's his style.
Word got out quickly that Jason was a free man and his schedule filled up fast. Before he knew it, he was playing the most sought after live music bars and restaurants in Key West and receiving offers to play with other talented musicians, which he took up, of course. Jason is now one of the most established musicians on the island playing over 25 shows per month at the top music venues.
