First song from my first album, Good Story. All sounds, loops, and overdubs are created live with bass guitar. 

Geographic

Jason Wilson is a bass player reared straight from the underbelly of the home of Krispy Kreme Donuts, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  Infused with this sweet, doughy goodness for years, he’s managed to become not only a player, but an orchestrator of the bass guitar, using it to create every sound, beat, mix, and overdub in real time.  Jason’s songs are loops of gritty, heavy-hitting percussion, melodies marinating in moods of universal nostalgia, and grooves with enough warmth and thump to make Frankenstein shake his rump.  Joe Satriani, Living Colour, Victor Wooten and even the late painter Jean-Michel Basquiat are just a few of the influences that have shaped the direction of his music.  Upon listening, one can hear these influences literally as well as how they have indirectly saturated the tone of his music.

Jason is a sonic storyteller of sorts, inviting audiences to participate in the journey as it unravels.  Moody, emotional, and freewheeling at times, Jason always brings it back around with some juicy funk or a bass groove that wants to sit in your pocket.  Chris Newberry of Swivelized Sounds described Jason’s playing as, “Les Claypool meets Bill Nye the Science Guy.”  Although the music itself might not always be a balanced equation, it just might stimulate intriguing reactions in those who come out for a quick listen.
