Jason Howard

About Me




Jason Howard was raised on a small ranch in Spanaway, Washington. He got his first guitar at age ten and began teaching himself how to play by picking along with the radio. He formed his first band at fifteen and sharpened his performance skills through high school and college. Leading a number of different groups, he has worked every type of crowd from the smallest one-room taverns to state fairs to large concert audiences. He has worked with such artists as Chris LeDoux, and Grand Ole Opry stars, Riders In The Sky. His main goal at every performance is to leave his audience wanting more.

In 1992, Jason set his sights on Nashville and began planning his move. He arrived in Nashville in November of 1993. He has honed his skill as a songwriter and has been a featured performer at such venues as the famed Bluebird Cafe, The Hard Rock Cafe, and the Ernest Tubb Record Shop on WSM Radio. Jason is also in demand as a demo vocalist, and has worked for such writers as Steve Seskin, Michael Johnson, Randy Bachman, Jim Peterik, and Tim Bays. As a guitarist and backup vocalist, he has been a part of opening acts for headliners such as John Michael Montgomery, Montgomery Gentry, Chely Wright, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Diamond Rio. Additionally, he has been a featured guest on the Nashville television show Mornings On Fox with Charlie Chase and Kelly Sutton. In 2003, he released his first single, "The Reunion (A Tribute to June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash)", which received international airplay. In 2004, the song was also featured in Tommy Cash's 2004 tribute show, “My Brother John”. In 2006, he released his debut album "Trouble With Angels" on Realtwang Records. Jason is currently working on his second album, to be released in 2009.
