About Me

I'm an Atlanta based musician and songwriter. My music celebrates the past, but with a forward vision. Please send any booking requests to [email protected]. When I play I out my typical set list is about 50/50 originals to covers. About half my covers are well known songs and the rest are b-sides and rarieties. I might play Wonderwall by Oasis, but I'll balance it out with a rare song off a Ben Kweller or Phantom Planet record. I have played at a lot of cool venues over the years, but some my favorites are; Atlanta- The Masquerade, The Ten High Club, The Red Light Cafe and Eddie's Attic, Athens- Tasty World, DT's and AMF(now closed), Milledgeville- Buffington's, Amici, Cameron's(now The Velvet Elvis), and Larry's Giant Subs(LOL), Clemson- The ESSO Club Here's a little bit more about me. I was born in the music mecca of Athens, GA USA and I grew up in nearby Franklin County. I am a graduate of Franklin County High School and a graduate of Georgia College and State University with a degree in History. Currently I'm am employed by Kennesaw State as a Graduate Research Assistant where I'm also pursuing a Masters in Public Administration with a focus in governmental administration. I am married to a lovely, intelligent and artistic women named Jennifer Meeks Chitwood. She's a first grade teacher in south Cobb. We are also the proud parents of a Basset/Lab named Alex,a Persian cat named Liz, as well as, four fifteen cent goldfish and an algae eater named "Charles". We currently reside just outside of the Atlanta city limits in the Vinings community--------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- If you're interested in having me play in a city near you click on the link below and put in the zip code of your city and "Demand" Jason Chitwood. The more demands I get the greater likelyhood I will book a show in that area.
