OurStage: Let The Fans Decide

Jason Lee Thomason was born into a home filled with music all the time. His mother played piano and sang, his father sang with her and his sister was always practicing piano and singing for church. Jason was bound to fall in the same line. At the young age of three his mother said he was hearing harmony parts and singing on key. Jason took interest in playing instruments early on. During his childhood he took both guitar and piano lessons. He had a bit of stage fright but his chorus teacher in his sophomore year saw his potential and gave him the big solo in the Christmas Cantata. He started singing and playing guitar in church and conducted song services for many conferences and events for about 10 years. It wasn't long before he was out of the church scene and into the rock band scene. He and his band were writing and performing originals and doing covers at all the local bars and festivals for a couple of years. Jason has a wife and three young boys, so the bar life just wasn't panning out. Jason knew there was a better way to express himself musically and keep his family intact. In 2007 his wife Leonda entered him in the local South Georgia Colgate Country Showdown. The spark from winning that lit a huge fire inside fueling his passion for performing LIVE once again. He picked up band members (and long time friends) Tory Harris on keys and Chuck Burnett on drums and won the local North Florida Showdown as well. He is currently scanning the area for more gigs to keep the fire burning. Jason is a registered songwriter with BMI and his publishing company, Jason Lee Thomason Music, is through BMI as well. Jason’s songs, “Let Go” and “Southland” have obtained lots of airtime on local radio stations WQHL 98.1 and WKAA 99.5. He spends a lot of his spare time writing new songs to go and record. His first self titled album, Jason Lee Thomason, is expected to release in the spring of '08. Some of the songs can be heard at www.myspace.com/jasonleethomason and at www.ourstage.com/jasonleethomason where he has achieved much success in the rankings at that site. Jason lives in Jasper, FL with his wife Leonda and three sons, Gabe, Ethan and Cole.
