A powerhouse of a musician. On drums and guitar he possesses the kind of technique, heart and soul that makes everyone in the audience go "Wow"."-Joe Satriani ....................................................Hello there and thanks for stopping by. I am from Huntington Beach, CA and now live in the North Bay Area. I play guitar, drums, bass and percussion. This page is set up for my electric guitar project-JBG. I also have jazzier projects where I play acoustic guitar and drums. Please go to my website for info on other current projects and collaborations...my cds are available there too. Thanks to all for the Norbay-North Bay Area Music Award honors in 2007!
.....................................................JBG~ Jason Bodlovich has assembled a smoking crew to perform original groove-heavy instrumental music. Styles include funk, rock, blues, jazz and Latin. This group was formed to perform music from J’s recent recording, The Green Chair, in which J performed all instruments. The human element has led to a high energy live show which showcases tight arrangements and improvisation. JBG is the perfect catalyst for J’s melodic and fiery guitar expression. J’s guitar is backed by bass, drums, and/or keys, gtr, percussion. This group can range from a power trio to a larger ensemble. J’s current gear set up consists of PRS and Fender electric guitars, Taylor acoustic guitars and Mesa Boogie Amps. Venues performed include: The S.F. Fillmore, The Warfield, Crystal Ballroom, Ventura Theatre, Luther Burbank Center and The Great American Music Hall. More bio and info at J’s website. ......................................................"very hard-swinging"-Jazztimes

..................................................................."Having Jason Bodlovich in the studio is like having an entire band at your fingertips. His diverse skills and styles allow him to gel with anything he hears. He’s a world-class guitar player -bossa nova, rock, jazz, soul, samba. He’s a tasteful and skilled drummer who truly understands the meaning of the word ’feel’. Most of all, his balance of prodigious musical talent, professionalism, and an enthusiasm to collaborate makes him the most valuable studio player I know."

thanks for coming to el verano! SUZAKU won't be forgotten, that was a culmination of much energy and fun. i broke the bass drum beater off right at the pedal!!
Cheers, Jason. Thanks for hitting me up. I hope all is well with you. I like the tunes. I heard some Al DiMeola influence on that first one, though I could be wrong. Take care, bro, and perhaps we'll cross paths again soon.
Hey you sounded fantastic at El Verano the other night - we had to leave before you were done playing - sorry we didn't get a chance to talk. I'm pretty crazy about your guitar playing, and I loved the 2nd song you played - was it called Lumping? Anyway, nice job, look forward to another chance to meet up. Cheers!
Dude I was going to call you today since I finally got a minute! Sorry i've been laggin with the communication, I will make sure I give you a call today, and thanks! I'll fill you in when I hit you up!
