About Jason
Jason is a Glenside, PA, certified teacher, guitarist, and bassist with over 20 years of experience. He has extensive knowledge of music theory and experience with multi-instrumental performance and working in bands of varying genres, recording, and writing. He is a capable vocalist who understands harmony, rhythm, and music theory well, and he is obsessed with finding new music to listen to and seeing live performances. Jason has spent most of his life around music, musicians, recording studios, and venues, so his knowledge extends beyond theory with his experience from being in local and touring bands.
Jason is currently the music coordinator and sound engineer for live performance at the CO Lab in Glenside, a collaborative community space for creatives and aspiring creatives to share, learn, and connect through unique creative workshops, community events, and more.
