Hi, Jason here. First off, thanks for checking out our website. And if you've
come to see us at a dance or bought a CD or t-shirt, I want to thank you for that, too.
Since first putting this band together in 2003, it's been a pure labor of love for me. It's afforded me the opportunity to get out and play my own songs (as well as those that inspired me to write in the first place) with some of the finest musicians in Austin at some of my favorite honky tonks in Texas. Although I played guitar in a couple bands in my younger days around New Braunfels and San Marcos, this is the first band in which I've been the front man, doing most of the writing and singing. It's been a great ride so far, and something I hope to continue for years to come. |

| THE STEPSIDERS is really more of a musicians' collective than a conventional band, meaning that we generally have at least a couple pickers in rotation and we might have a little different lineup at various shows. Who I bring along to play often depends on who's not playing in another band that night. Such is the nature of the music scene here in Austin, and these boys are IN DEMAND. Of course, I always have a pedal steel player, and usually fiddle as well. Below are photos of some of the guys I've had the good fortune to call my fellow Stepsiders. They're the ones who really make all this magic happen -- I just pluck the bass and call the tunes... | |
