My new EP is available on CD Baby now for digital download! Physical CD sales coming soon!

There are some fantastic musicians on here with me. Dean Magraw on guitar, Daniel Zamzow on cello, and Jason Craft on piano. Talented musicians all!

Of course, it was all put together and produced by Diana Grasselli. Without her, this would have never happened, so many thanks to her!

Many thanks to Kelly Andrews Powers for the gorgeous cover!

Also, to Steve, whose support got me through this whole process.

Much love to you all!

Jason Chaffee is a singer-songwriter from Minneapolis Minnesota who writes ambient and catchy pop-rock. Being compared vocally with Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, and Colin Hay, he can bridge driving melodies with an emotionally charged sound palate which keep a new ear replaying the tunes after a first listen.

Acoustic folk/americana/blues singer and musician. Singing is my first love; writing, playing guitar and harmonica, collaboration, backing vocals etc., are a close second! If you can look past the novice recordings from 20+ years ago you’ll get a sense of my earlier style. 

I felt as though I was raised on the piano bench. It was my mother’s singing and playing that truly inspired me. My first performances were at church in my hometown of Wadena, Minnesota with my mother and sister. My father, who would rather be the listener, was our biggest fan, and always expressed the importance of truly ‘being’ the ‘listener’. Music truly was a beacon for our family. 

Shortly after we moved to Minneapolis my mother taught me my first two chords (I was somewhere around the age of 8), I was captivated. By age 11 I was writing songs, and by 14 I was performing with my sister. I had an early hiatus at the age of 17, after an auto accident. Throughout the years since, I’ve periodically been on stage or sang at funerals/weddings for family and friends. For me, music was always about the process, the healing, joy and energy of the music. 

I started going to more local, live music after the pandemic in 2020. I remembered how much I needed to be a part of music and the community again; which is one of my greatest joys. I eventually started handling some promotion/booking work and thanks to Don Strong (producer, musician, filmmaker), I met many other amazing artists and songwriters. 

One of which is Mpls veteran singer/songwriter, Scott Zosel. I was lucky enough to sing backups with Scott at various venues in 2022, including recording backups on his 4th studio album at Boom Island Recording, with producer and Drummer Greg Schutte.

Grateful for all of you, the music and for bringing your beauty into the world. May the music feed our souls and never stop!
