About Me


SO, YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT ME?!
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------
Ummm (twiddles fingers)...I'm Jared. I'm 20 years young and I make music. I'm a Christian who is in love with Jesus, after a long relapse and a hard road without Him. I play on two worship teams and have a band of my own as well. Our band iis called "A Trial By Fire". We write and play for the glory of the Lord and try to do the best we can to look cool doing it ^_^ (just kidding).If you ever want to talk in person, I'm never too good or too talented to refuse anybody, even if you smell like I do ^_^.I hope you enjoy the music here - I'm putting my solo career on hold for awhile...hopefully for good if our band takes off. I want to thank everybody for supporting me through the 4-5 years of making demos, records, and playing shows. Hopefully soon you'll see me with an electric chugging power chords bringing you that full-frontal assault you've always wanted to hear live ^_^. We'll hopefully be playing festivals and churches around the area, doing the best we can to give glory to our Maker and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Oh yeah, um, here's the promotional bit... (don't hit me)
Anyways my first CD (Endless Road) is available for sale, it was recorded in 2005 at home. My second release (The Empire Has Fallen) is available, however it is a secular album - recorded in a very prodigal time in my life.
Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy the music.
Jared is a proud user of Fender and Schecter guitars; D'addario Strings; Dunlop Picks; Electro-Harmonix and MXR effects pedals; Marshall and Mesa/Boogie Amplification; Peavey and JBL PA gear; and Audix Microphones.

Turning over a new leaf

Hi folks. It's been awhile since I've done anything on this page. A lot has happened in the past couple months and I guess I'll just put it plainly - I love Jesus. I'm safe back in His arms again, and...
