Jason and the band were a wonderful addition to our 1st corporate family event held on-site and outside. They had a good variety of music for all ages and we saw employees tapping their feet and singing along. When asked to make announcements, they did so without hesitation and where always energetic. We would welcome them back for our next event!

This bandis awesome. They added excitement, depth and audience involvement as they closed out the two-day arts event.
We hope to have them back next year!

I've worked with Jason many times over the years. He's a professional vocalist who sings with heart. He's a member of the Tosco Music Party House Band and has been featured as a soloist. His versatility enables him to sing almost any style of music.
