Jason & the Diatonics is a Canadian band based in Vancouver BC. This group of displaced Albertans is built upon the musings of singer/songwriter Jason Poulsen and augmented by the musical prowess of the Diatonics (Joel Mohr, Erik Olson, Stephanie Olson and Jim McLaren). J&D assembled over the course of 2010 through a myriad of friendships, coincidences, beverages and a love of music. The result is a fresh style of Acoustic-Pop full of stuck-in-your-head melodies and slick arrangements.

Independently released in July of 2011, ‘million miles of trouble’ is the title of the quintet's debut effort. The album has been called "...a bright-eyed and easygoing mix of coffee-house folk and acoustic pop, anchored by the confident vocals of singer-guitarist Jason Poulsen" (Mike Usinger - Georgia Straight). With 10 tracks of catchy melodies and whimsical wordplay, 'million miles of trouble' has been heard on CKUA in Alberta, CiTR in Vancouver, CIWS ﻿in Ontario and Butterflies Radio online.

Jason & the Diatonics were invited to perform as a live guest on Shaw TV's 'Urban Rush' and selections from 'million miles of trouble' are featured in the Vancouver web-series 'Social Life'. J&D have toured Western Canada multiple times and showcased at the Painted Lady in Toronto for Canadian Music Fest 2013. The sophmore album "Grain of Sand" is finished and printed!
