Description

The Custer Oasis is proud to welcome one of our favorite prolific rockers, Jason Narducy! About Jason! Jason Narducy started playing music at age ten when he formed a band called Verböten with Evanston friends. Despite their youth, the band played at clubs in Chicago, schools on the north shore, and on NBC’s Kidding Around TV program. Verböten was featured in Foo Fighter’s 2014 HBO Sonic Highways series because they inspired Dave Grohl. A musical based on the band premiered in Chicago in 2020 to rave reviews and sold out shows. The musical, which featured music written by Narducy, was extended due to ticket demand.As an adult musician, Jason performed the national anthem at a Bulls game, sang a duet with jazz artist Patricia Barber on her Blue Note Records debut, and repeatedly lost guitar picks. When he’s not touring as bassist for Bob Mould or Superchunk, Jason focuses on his band Split Single, instead of his children. Split Single’s second album, Metal Frames, was released in November 2016. Greg Kot of The Chicago Tribune called Jason a "first-rate songwriter' in his review of the record. Jason’s mom loves it, too. Narducy writes and produces short comedy episodes called "The Sexiest Elbows In Rock" which feature Fred Armisen, Michael Shannon, Jeff Tweedy, Todd Barry, Margaret Cho, Tim Meadows, Dave Hill, and many more. Jason has played bass and sung back up vocals with Robert pollard (Guided By Voices), Eddie Vedder, The Pretenders, and Liz Phair. The new Split Single album, Amplificado, arrives June 25, 2021 and features Jon Wurster (The Mountain Goats, Superchunk) and Mike Mills (R.E.M.). Jason's brand new Split Single CD, Amplificado, is available for pre-buy right here on the ticketing page--you'll get your CD at the concert.
