This multi-award winning New England-based songwriter discovered his father's collection of eight-track tapes as a child and never looked back. After early exposure to songwriter legends like Neil Young, Paul Simon, Jim Croce and Van Morrison along with Motown heavies like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight, Jason was inspired to start making the rounds on coffee house stages in his teens. Shortly thereafter, he spent time in Europe performing in folk & blues clubs and on the streets of London and around Spain. Once back in the states, he landed a job at a roots & blues record label where he witnessed numerous Blues legends (including members of the original Muddy Waters band ) making magic in recording sessions. Before long, Jason jumped head-first into the Northeast's burgeoning songwriter scene. Sea Monster, the third studio album released in 2010, is active proof that the independent path is the way of the future. Co-produced by Spooner and Jonathan Wyman, Sea Monster was recorded in Maine with longtime touring bandmates Adam Frederick on bass and Reed Chambers on drums, and features a guest appearance from veteran pedal steel virtuoso Bucky Baxter (Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, R.E.M). "I think we definitely unearthed some new territory with this record," says Spooner. "We spent countless winter months in my drummer’s attic shaping these tunes from the ground up as a band." The album has been praised by Sirius/XM as "a very rare and special record that is destined to put Spooner on the musical map," and earned the songwriter national overhead rotation at Starbucks, a feature on NPR's All Things Considered and a full tour schedule which promises to grow even busier as he and the band prepare to open this summer for blues legend B.B. King and appear at Jackson Hole, WY's Targhee Fest. with the likes of Little Feat, The Funky Meters, Michael Franti, Grace Potter and Sara Bareilles. www.jasonspooner.com
