About

Jason Harrod is an award-winning singer-songwriter known for generous melodies and poetic, image-rich lyrics. His songs are cinematic travelogues of belonging and alienation, filled with quirky narrative and emotional detail. Jason has been writing, recording, and performing for over 25 years -- firstly as one half of the duo Harrod and Funck, then later on his own.

In 2000, Jason was a finalist in MerleFest's Chris Austin Songwriting competition. The following year, he won first place in the North Carolina Songwriters Co-Op contest. In 2009. Jason was selected as a spotlight performer at the annual Healdsburg Guitar festival, sponsored by Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and in 2012 he received a Fulbright grant to teach songwriting to students in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Drawing from a wide variety of influences, Jason is hard to pin down stylistically. One critic from the Folk and Music Exchange put it this way, “Jason Harrod embodies a blend of blues and folk wrought with an extremely strong country spine. He possesses a strong voice and confident almost 50s-ish presence and sound, writing catchy melodies with a great band."

Jason recently returned to his native Durham, NC after many years in New York. He tours frequently throughout the US.
