Jamie continues to perform his own steeped-in-the-tradition originals with his reinterpretations of other numbers from the great real American music songbook that span from its origins to today.

Multi-instrumentalist Jason Ewald writes songs to process life. His songs are about love, friendship and the confusion that comes along for the ride with those things.

Jason continues to be inspired by life and always has a tune in his head.
