Jason is a prolific New England guitarist, singer, and songwriter, with a strong DIY ethic. He is literally a touring whirlwind, with devoted fan bases in cities and towns across North America and Europe. He has often collaborated with Phil Elverum of The Microphones/Mount Eerie. He was also the drummer for Yume Bitsu.

While living as a student in Oregon he founded the lively American Rock / Folk group Wolf Colonel which recorded multiple releases on Olympia Washington’s K-Records. After years of touring with a rotating band roster and solo he began recording and touring as a solo act, (although sometimes with backing band). He released 2 records on K Records as Jason Anderson.

Extensive touring eventually led him back to his New England roots. He began playing shows around the New England subcontinent in the mid 00’s solo and in a duo call The Rabbits. More recently he has been in a project group doing American Rock.

Jason’s recordings are a history of artistic progression from humorous and hopeful youth through to the sweet and thoughtful mid-20’s. His live concerts are appealing to all ages and genders, his theatricalist performing style recalls the works of Homer and Plato, and reminds audience members why people like to see musicians play music.

One of the best house shows ever. Jason standing in the middle of a living room surrounded by kids shoulder to shoulder, everyone pumped, everyone happy, everyone feeling more alive than the with whoever played before him. His wise words cup your heart and stay with you and keep you peacefully happy for as long as you can remember them. Lovely fellow.

The only way I can think to describe the experience of his live shows is that they make me feel that way I thought I was supposed to feel when I was at church growing up. He is a treasure.

More or less, he has a job in New York now, so he can't tour or anything at the moment, but he'll play anything that's really feasible!
