Influenced by the rhythmic pop of John Mayer, the vocal stylings of Jeff Buckley and the storytelling of Dave Mathews, 23 year-old Jason Ayres is a West Australian based singer-songwriter who delivers a unique brand of acoustic pop tunes.
As a solo artist, Jason has built a passionate fan base, from young teenage listeners to baby boomers, all finding a connection in his music.
After touring the major cities of Australia and South Africa, it was evident that the lack of media attention had actually been a benefit to this aspiring artist, allowing him to fly under the radar and enabling people to discover him in an organic way, forming a bond between performer and listener that is extremely rare in this fickle era.
Having performed alongside artists like “James Cruikshank” (The Cruel Sea), “Jez”, Perth favourites “Toby & Code Red”, and having supported one of South Africa’s top bands “Lonehill Estate” during one of his South African tours, Jason has developed his own style and grace on stage, always being faithful to the songs, himself and his listeners.
With no banging drums or screaming electric guitars, his debut recording “The Acoustic Sessions” sees Jason Ayres stripped back, and performing at his most intimate. Just an acoustic guitar, his voice, and quality songs.
“The Acoustic Sessions” is out now! ! !
“Ayres is an artist whose voice and talent will take him far in this overly remixed industry. An artist with so much more to offer. . .”
The Daily Vault (U.S.A.)
“a wonderful debut. . .”
Evolution of Media (U.S.A.)
"... a charismatic and sincere performer who delivers quality songs."
Drum Media (Australia)
"His vocal stylings soar and the hooks are firmly in place."
Luna Kafe (Norway)
I am just picking myself up off the floor after your hillarious suggestion. You guys would do an excellent cover of the Andy Kaufman classic hit "I trusted You". The only problem would be is helping the audience to learn the words so that they could sing along!!
I need to make a run for the border. If you pay, I'll take off my top. Do you remember what I want to order? Three tacos, two tostadas, and a soda pop.
How you going Jase? Sorry we didn't catch you in Sydney. I hear you may be doing some shows with Andrew Ellis at some point, is that just a rumour??? Keep up the good work fella.
Thanks for listening to my music I appreciate the feedback
I'll be singing on Access 31, in april, check the tv guide, the show is called 'so you wanna be a rock legend' (none of singers on there sing rock tho lol), so check that out,
and i'll be singing at the swan acoustic lounge in mid-april, i'll post a my space bulletin about those gigs as soon as my agent confirms the dates

Hey Jas, Yes it has been ages.. sounds like you have been having fun though! All that touring, and then shows back in Perth!!! I did really want to go to your last show at Mullaloo, but unfortunately could not make it. I hope it went really well!!

Hey buddy! It's been a while. How'd your east coast tour go? Sorry I couldn't catch any shows. I've got a couple of new songs up - got the creative bug again (& loving it!!). Anyway mate, take care. ~Dez
Hey Jas, How is your touring going? Did you go to West Coast Blues Roots? I really liked Lior, Jason Mraz, Keb Mo and Buddy Guy! It was a really fun day!! (Although I was sad John Mayer was not there this year). Have a fantastic weekend!
