Jason - S/T

Label: Pumkin Pie Music Company
Catalog Number: PLP100776B

Style: Pop Rock

Sporting expert art direction, this release contains the music of someone who probably worshiped at the alter of Paul McCartney. There are many similarities to McCartney’s first self titled album to be found here. That doesn’t make this an un-enjoyable album, though. It’s fascinating to see a local take on the sound that was in the air at the time. Many songs are catchy and fun.

The track “Last Dance” definitely slows time down a little and is more sparse than the other tracks but feels like all of Jason’s best qualities shine through. Jason is shy with the details and you never learn his last name, it’s just simply Jason.
