Programs

Family Concerts

Jason performs as a one-man band — banjo, harmonica, spoons, bass drum, tambourine, and stomp board, all at once. The show blends Appalachian folk music, storytelling, and audience participation into something completely unpredictable. Kids sing along, stomp their feet, and become part of the performance.

Kids and families (ages 2+)

Duration

45–60 minutes

Concert halls, libraries, bookstores, festivals, barns — indoor or outdoor

Tech needs

Schools & Libraries

Jason brings 20 years of teaching experience to school assemblies, workshops, and artist residencies. As Director of Exploration Bands at Brooklyn Music Factory and music teacher at Middle Way School, he has developed a game- and story-based curriculum grounded in four pillars: Rhythm, Melody, Harmony, and Songwriting.

Programs are designed so every student leaves feeling like a musician — not a spectator. Students play along, make noise, and discover music as a language they already speak.
