School & Library Performances
The full one-man band Storytelling interactive experience. Jason brings his lifelong experience of storytelling and career as Early Childhood Music Educator to an interactive experience of original works with audience member volunteers invited to help play the music and even help write a story. This program is designed so everyone in the audience leaves feeling like a musician — not a spectator. With Jason and his one-man band at the helm showcasing full arrangements on banjo, harmonica, spoons, washboard and backpack drum kit — all at the same time — audiences won't forget getting to join the band.
