The Road Less Traveled - Jason Eady

Jason Eady has been honing his songwriting craft since he was a kid in Jackson, Mississippi. He said: “Even back in my early days of getting into music, I always cared more about the writers than the singers. I’d look up who’d written a certain song, and then go seek out more songs from that writer.” At age 14-the same year Jason started writing his own material-he began performing in local bars and showing a natural grasp of everything from soul and R&B to blues and country. After some time in the Air Force, he moved to Ft. Worth and started playing open mic nights, where he quickly built up a devoted following. Jason, who names Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, and Willie Nelson among his main inspirations, instilling each song with so much graceful honesty proved to be his greatest achievement and thrill in creating the new album.
