Mini bio

How it started.

Raised in Virginia, Jason tried busking in New York before finding a musical home in San Diego. At Java Joe’s he teamed up with percussionist and vocalist Toca Rivera. His independent Live and Acoustic 2001 recording attracted record-label attention, leading to his 2002 major-label debut, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, and “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry).”

The songs fans carried with them.

“I’m Yours” became a worldwide hit in 2008. The following year’s Grammy season brought nominations for that song, and in 2010 he won for “Make It Mine” and his Colbie Caillat duet “Lucky.” “I Won’t Give Up” followed in 2012. His songwriting moves between conversational acoustic songs, folk-pop and more danceable pop.

Room to keep changing.

Jason collaborated with Raining Jane on YES! in 2014 and reunited with the band and producer Martin Terefe for 2023’s Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride. He has also played Dr. Pomatter in Broadway’s Waitress and finished second on Dancing With the Stars in 2023. His foundation supports inclusive arts education and equality.

Songs for his grandmother.

In 2026 he shared Grandma’s Gospel Favorites, a collection originally recorded as a Christmas gift for his grandmother. The songs draw on her favorites and music found in his other grandmother’s piano bench, with arrangements inspired by classic country, bluegrass and gospel broadcasts.
