A 22 year old singer/songwriter from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Jason has grown over the past several years into an original artist toting his own brand of acoustic pop from show to show. Although his style has been compared to current musicians such as John Mayer, Howie Day and James Blunt, it carries a sound of its own, separating him from many other acoustic songwriters.
Influenced by great songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and others, Jason attempts to create a sense of realism in his lyrics along with an easy to listen to vibe and catchy melody.
Jason has been seen performing live at several venues including the Capital Open Mic, the Red n' Black Revue and the Neil Coffee House. Currently, functioning as a solo act, Jason has also worked with other local artists such as Kaylee Hopkins (www.myspace.com/kayleeonwindsor) and Tyler Lombard (www.myspace.com/TylerLombard).

Why this name?
I like to think it chose me.
Do you play live?
More and more everyday. Keep your ears open for the next show featuring Jason Henry!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Without the internet only a small group of people from around here would have ever heard me. But I still receive emails from people across the world about my songs. That to me is amazing.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Perhaps.
Your influences?
I try to take a lot from my favorite acoustic alternative artists like Jack Johnson, Damien Rice, David Gray and John Mayer. I play a mix of acoustic rock and pop, that I guess could be called Acoustic Alternative. Some songs are a little more candy, Tyler Hilton style but some have a bit more serious sound to them. Take your pick.
