About Us

   Jason’s musical interest was spurred from a very young age due to his father owning a record store until he was in fourth grade. Growing up he was influenced by one of the best musical decades, the 1970’s. Hearing all the great music released during this period played in his father’s record store led him to want play the music he was hearing around him.  Since he began his music making journey he has played piano, synthesizer, rhythm guitar, bass, and also sang.  In the mid 2000’s he began playing music with The Chris Feller Band and was fortunate enough to have played the Ichthus Music festival in Wilmore, KY in 2011 and 2012.  He has since played with The Joy Addicts, and Rail City Praise Project before joining with The Rock Bottom Band in June, 2017 to play the fantastic music that inspired him to pick up an instrument.  Jason retired from the band in February, 2024.
