About Me

For over a decade Jason Byrd has appealed to a very diverse audiance. Writing songs of Hope, Peace, and Love! Then intertwining them with classic cover tunes from every genre! Blending songs together to tell a story! Adding to the element of surprise, you never know who will show up to play! Jason brings a differant Friend or Two to sit in and "Bring What They Have to The Table!" Jason Byrd says "I Like to think of it as a Big Ole Sunday After Church Potluck! Everybody brings Something, you put it on the Table, & hopefully everybody leaves Filled!" Bluegrass, Reggae, ,Classic Rock. New Kids On the Block???? Jason Byrd proves Boundries and dividing lines should never be drawn!Here is a Quote From Ken Heath Of MARION DOWNTOWN!!! "Jason is a consummate performer, bringing his unique style and personality that blends the best of what the region has to offer. Bluegrass and "old school" country to covers from Paul Simon, Jimmy Buffett, even the Grateful Dead. Audiences love Jason, because he delivers something for just about everyone at every show, and does it with great style and lots of fun!" Ken Heath, MDRA
