Event
Jason Reeves
The son of a Maytag worker and a food stylist, Jason Reeves' songwriting sensibility harkens back to a time when people wrote "Old-Fashioned Letters" and employed a more poetic way of expressing feelings. Reeves, part of a new generation of musicians reminiscent of the 1970's Laurel Canyon scene, balances his romantic sentiments with raw hurt on a number of tracks where a relationship goes bad and his lover commits the ultimate sin, striking a match "as she is covering my heart with gasoline."
Subject matter that is deep yet resonates; hook-filled melodies and Jason's unmistakable vocals caused Reeves' music to instantly engage the MySpace community and propelled him to #1 on the MySpace Folk chart (unsigned) for 9 months prior to his record deal, and kept him consistently in the Top 5 Acoustic (unsigned) and Top 20 Overall (unsigned) categories.
From the uplifting opening track "Someone Somewhere" through reflective closer "The End," singer/songwriter Jason Reeves' forthcoming album The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (and Other Frightening Tales) takes listeners on a contemplative journey of love, hope, heartbreak and renewal. Originally available online and at his shows only, the album's beauty and raw honesty connected with listeners and earned a "Top Folk Album of 2007" distinction from iTunes, which also named Reeves one of the Top Indie Singer-Songwriters of that year. Now signed to Warner Bros. Records, which will widely-distribute his album for the first time, Jason's own story continues, one that remains as pure as his outlook on life and music as it ever was.
