About Me

Energetic. Soulful. Youthful. Jason Swain and Atlantic Crossing is a four piece band with a mission, ready to break down every stereotype you have about music. A band with no boundaries.. Jason and Atlantic Crossing's influences include new country, alternative rock, pop, top 40, dance music, RnB, classic rock, and a little of everything else in between. In a career spanning only a short time, the band has shared the stage with nationally established acts such as Rascal Flatts, Phil Vassar, Clarence Carter, Chris Cagle, Emerson Drive, Billy Currington, Eric Church, Shannon Brown, Billy Dean, Hal Ketchum, Amy Dalley, Aaron Lines, Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band, and Chris Young, as well as many regional favorites such as Rainmarket, the Ben Phelps Project, and the Heather Edwards Band.
Jason Swain and Atlantic Crossing are known for the ear catching and energetic original music they create, as well as for the songs they cover, taking them and making them their own. The band has played at many well known venues, including the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Ampitheater in Virginia Beach, VA, the NorVa in Norfolk, VA, Kelly's Outer Banks Tavern in Nags Head, NC, the nTelos Pavilion in Portsmouth, VA, and the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. They've also taken the stage at a large number of nightclubs and bars, and always have a show to put on, and a musical story to tell!
So come out and see the band, listen to the music, and book the guys for a show at your buddy's nightclub... you'll be glad you did!
