About Me

Hi, I'm Jason and this is a profile about me and my many activities...
Hawaiian Express is a company started by yours truly back in 1995.
I launched a record label, I organize and sponsor concerts, I created and
host an online resource for bands and fans known as 808shows.com,
and I do just about anything else I can to support music in paradise!!
Specializing in 'alternative' music: Rock, Punk, Ska, Metal, and more...

As for even MORE 'about me' info:
I'm Jason... I was born and raised in Campbell, California and I became a fan of music (especially punk bands) in the mid-eighties. My success in competitive swimming brought me out to Hawaii in 1992... in fact, I was the lead leg on a relay that ranked 25th in the World that same year.
ANYWAY... Fast forward: I started a company called Hawaiian Express in 1995. I've been organizing concerts and albums ever since.
We've done records with great 'alternative' acts from Hawaii like Pepper, Jack Johnson, Go Jimmy Go, National Product, Mr. Orange Undercover, Pennylane, Olivia (the band), and many more. Way too many to list...
We recently did some shows and released a DVD with punk legends T.S.O.L. so my life is now complete. (I've been a big fan since 1984).
For a complete list of albums, the over 200 concerts that I put together, and a listing of future events, check us out sometime at 808shows.com
Now enough about me, let's hear about you!
What else... I made this fundraiser album! Please support the cause!!
It's a CD with 20 bands from Hawaii called 'Roots Rock Reggae'
and proceeds go to Kim & Jack Johnson's Kokua Hawaii Foundation!
Includes an exclusive new Track by Jack Johnson, LIVE on MAUI
