January 3, 2025Jason is wonderful!
We've been booking Jason to play at our establishment since 2020. He's the first pro musician we booked after Covid restrictions were lifted, and he continues to play on a monthly basis.
Not only is he a gifted solo artist, he's also established our 'Open Mic Series' which continues to grow and support local musicians in the area.
We LOVE Jason and look forward to his continued successes!

A two to four hour set of classic rock songs on guitar, mandolin and bouzouki, focusing on music from the 1960s through the 1980s, and a fairly extensive repertoire and taking audience requests
I have been playing guitar for many years, though I've only just started working playing publicly in the Syracuse area in the fall of 2021.
I was at lunch with some friends at The Hops Spot on Walton Avenue one day in 2018 or 2019, and watching my friend Jess Novak perform a solo acoustic gig. I was commenting to my friends about how awesome all of her various gear was, her speaker system, looper pedals, etc., and she heard me and asked me if I wanted to play a song. She didn't even know me but was kind enough to give me a chance to play.
I ripped through a bit of Jimi Hendrix's "Red House" and got the bug.
At that point I started playing local open mic nights at Maxwell's, and Shifty's, and places like that, but it was a tough thing to share with my friends - I'd play on a Wednesday, and be like fourth on a list and not get to play until after 9 or 10 PM.
So when Covid hit I reached out to Jess to get some specific info on gear, and got what I needed, and after a summer of practice gigs in my garage and driveway I started playing gigs in the fall of 2021.
