Jason Whitson of Tribe 13 - -
Jason is a 29 year old guitarist/singer/songwriter with a passion for life and music that is only superceded by his passion for the Lord and his family.
Jason is a formally trained musician with a degree in instrumental and vocal music from East Tennessee State University.
Jason loves working with his high school and elementary students in choral and band settings, but his passion is in leading worship through music at his church, as he has done for the past 8 years. He also loves to share the music God has blessed him with through his band Crimson Truth, founded in 2000. Jason is fortunant to have a musical wife, Lee, who often shares the stage with him, lighting it up with her beautiful face and filling it with her magificent voice. Look for Lee's band page soon!
Shane Hubbard is Jason's bandmate. Shane is one of the most exceptional musicians you will ever meet, or hear. With a love of Christ in his heart Shane thumps out the bass lines like no one else.
NEW!! We added one of the best guitarists and most enjoyable guys to be around this June, Brian Stidham. We also were fortunate to come across a great drummer Andrew Sergent. Andrew is a terrific addition both musically and as a burst of energy for the group.
