Bio:
Raised by Coyotes when left for dead after his family was attacked by wild Buffalos in the plains of Ontario, Jason Paul Johnston learned cowboy songs around the hobo campfires. He traveled further and learned the gospel songs of the parsons and railway workers. Resisting a life with either the wandering outlaws or multiple invitations to the circus, Jason followed his own path to the big city.
In the city, Jason found himself sleeping in shadows and shaving in Wal-mart appliance sections, slipping deeper and deeper until he was taken in by a wealthy and philanthropic computer network. He is now making sense of all this: gospel, country, urban, shadows, Canadian, futuristic - working it out in his own stories and song.
Jason is currently in the studio working on his first full length album with producer Bruce Anthony. Release late TBA in 2008.
Thanks for yesterday! The track sounds hot!! Totally had it blairing in my car yesterday! Gotta schedule a time where I can come in and show u the rest of my material!! Talk to you soon! Jen.
Hi Jason, Not sure if I replied or not - old age :) Glad to have you on my page - I'll be promoting you guys any chance I get. Glad you like the 'revolution' pic - have sent it off all over the world to my family and friends so they know what I am up to, apart from painting.
Looking forward to the classes - we need help..ha! I am though getting very good at finding Vista drivers and updates.
Hey Jason! We'd be honoured if you'd take a moment to stop by our space & have a listen to the clips of tracks from our upcoming debut album! Many Thanks! ~Sweetgrass Warren & Amanda
Just wanted to let you know about my new remix I have uploaded. Real 2 Real - I Like To Move It, go check it out on my page :-)
And here is a little freebie, a link to a DJ mix of mine called 'Vote House', its a FREE download so what you waiting for...bop away to the fat beats. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RLRFS8S0
Keep doing your thing and hope you have a even better 2008.
Congrats again on the Revolution Audio Anniversary, your store looks great!
Just passing along the news about the new ReDuX:RMx album.
TWO, the second CD from ReDuX:RMx, infuses Latin, Euro and Asian influences with electronica to create 11 original nu-jazz world tracks. Diverse guitar styles and exotic world instruments create music that excites and moves in the coming together of races and cultures in the art and spirit of music.
Finally got a moment to sit and listen! Your Old Timey Gospel stuff is great and I'm looking forward to hearing more on your current CD project... although I'm not so much a country kind of guy, I just really like music in general!
Thanks for the comments, the album will have 11 or 12 songs total and right now i'm just taking a break to concentrate on my job search for a bit. I'm hoping to have all the songs ready to go by sometime in October. Any suggestions in regards to cd pressing? I might try the online route first (itunes etc) since it is cheaper and will get more exposure before shelling out the big $$ for cd's/artwork.
Hey Jason, My head cleared up the next morning,thanks. Hey thanks alot for making it out to the show,much appreciated. Traveling map sounds really nice ! Keep in touch, T.A.
hey. thanks!! my summer is going great so far. how are you? yeah, i'm hoping to get some music up on myspace eventually, but i have to write something half decent first!! haha. i'm working on it. take care.
The Habit has a new album coming out next month, and we've set up a little poll on our myspace so that people can help us pick our next single. We've posted four new songs that are contenders. If you get a chance, come have a listen and vote!
