Jason Elmore is a twenty nine year old solo blues guitarist with an old soul. His young age belies the wealth of experience and and maturity & depth in his singing and playing.
He grew up in Denison, Texas, becoming exposed to blues and rock ‘n roll in his early teens. Jason’s father took him to bars in nearby Dallas’ Lower Greenville and Deep Ellum areas to hear bands such as Jim Suhler & Monkey Beat. Jason became excited by the slide guitar sounds he heard around him in Texas by Kirby Kelley & Jim Suhler, and was also influenced by the recordings of past slide guitar masters such as Son House, Robert Johnson, Tampa Red and the modern blues/rock stylings of Rory Gallagher, Bugs Henderson, Freddie King and others.
It was Kirby Kelley whose blistering solo sets inspired Jason to present his talent as a solo performer, in large part due to the difficulty in finding talented, sympathetic and serious musicians in his area to pursue his musical vision.
Jason has been performing solo for the last five years, building a growing and enthusiastic fan base in the Grayson county area. He has recently formed an electric power trio - Hoodoo Witch - and they are tearing up the music scene with a gritty, nasty Texas rockin' blues sound, reminiscent of Monkey Beat, Bugs Henderson, Johnny Winter, and the Vaughans (Jimmie and Stevie). He is currently writing and arranging original material to record for an album.
If you're interested in investing some money to help with the recording, please send me a message. If not, thats cool too. We hope to see you out some night soon. Thanks for checking out my page.FOR BOOKING INFORMATION,
