My name is Jason. I go by Jase. I'm managing a restaurant while also doing the recording thing, finding a little talent here and there that inspires me to improve, and preparing for a huge leap into the music scene! I'm only willing to do this if I can do it as an independent artist though.
I'm into heavy acoustic, standard acoustic, blues, alternative, rock, country, metal, and indie. ALL of this shows up in my music that I've written. It's a very diverse collection of music, but the general tone is totally unique to my style of playing. I guarantee you have not heard anything like it. If you like what you hear, please leave me some love in a comment, or share my page with your friends! I want the world to hear what I have to offer.
I would like to give thanks and show appreciation to Carley Trainer. She is my muse and the inspiration to all my best music. Carley, I love you. Thank you for motivating me, inspiring me, and driving me to be better at all of the things I do. I couldn't do it without you.

Band/artist history

This all started back in 2007 when I started writing and recording with the Pseudonym "Hollow's Epitaph." I had a lot of material in the works back then, but nothing really to my satisfaction. In 2011 I had a son and I put my guitar down for almost 14 years. A lot happened and I eventually ended up where I am today. The place where I met the love of my life. She inspired me to try again and I started over. I picked it back up and I'm starting to write again. This time I'm writing full songs and not instrumentals. The music is so much more involved, refined, and solid now compared to the mess I was originally writing. I owe it all to her. Thank you, Carley. I love you.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I do play live. I'll play anywhere that will let me but I have a hard time with stage fright. I am a natural introvert. I currently record and perform as a solo artist, but I am not against collaborating or being part of a band...I just refuse to change my sound at all. It is who I am.

Your musical influences

I am easily influenced by anything that you can hear acoustic guitar in. I like Andy McKee, Preston Reed, Michael Muller, Karl Werne, Kevin So, 3 Doors Down, The Spill Canvas...there are too many to list. I'm also influenced and motivated by my family and friends and my wonderful girlfriend.

What equipment do you use?

I use an old Ovation acoustic electric guitar, a very cheap, ratty electric guitar, FruityLoops XXL Producer Edition, Super Sound, and BandLab.

Anything else?

Most of my material is born of inspiration. I do have some cover songs, but my original work is inspired, mostly by my muse...my girl Carley. I wouldn't be where I am without her. I hope she knows.
I have written one or two songs out of simple entertainment, boredom, or curiosity...but they never turn out as good as inspired works. 

I would love to know what you think. Leave a comment! Share with your friends!
