Wakulla County Native Jason Jones
Making a Name in Nashville
Jason Jones, a 1998 graduate of Wakulla High School, is following
his dreams and making his home county proud with his musical
accomplishments in Nashville, Tennessee.

In
only nine months, 25 year-old Jason Jones went from waiting tables at a
local music business haunt to singing demos and co-writing with
Nashville's top writers to writing full time for Warner Chappell
Music. His youthfulness, however, belies an older, more seasoned
voice. There is a rawness and a soulfulness in Jason's voice and
the music he sings that cuts through the offerings by many current
young vocalists. With a variety of cover songs ranging from John
Michael Montgomery and Merle Haggard, to John Mellencamp and Van
Halen, coupled with his edgy and energetic original music, Jason is the
perfect artist for any club, event or party.

Currently, Jason is hard at work on his artist project along side of
his producers, Jimmie Lee Sloas and Scott Hendricks, and his
publisher. Along with writing everyday, he has been performing
with his band as many as six nights a week in the Ameristar Casinos, at
the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, and at other honkytonks in the
surrounding areas. He has opened for such acts as Don Williams,
Glen Campbell, The Oakridge Boys, and newcomers, Sugarland. Also,
Jason most recently landed the lead role in an upcoming television show
entitled Only in Nashville, about a singer/songwriter who leaves it all
behind to make it in country music. He knows that these are all
small yet crucial steps in what can be a long and winding road to the
fulfillment of a dream. It is this attitude, combined with his
fresh musical instincts that will no doubt lead Jason to a very long
and successful music career.
Jason
recently paid his home town a visit when he was the headline performer
at the 2005 Sopchoppy 4th of July Celebration. Says Jason,
"I was really excited about doing the show. I hadn't played in my
hometown since I had my band in high school!" For more
