About Jason:

At 14, he began singing and playing guitar in cover bands, and was soon writing songs. His early original efforts were greeted with apathy by audiences in his home state, who were more interested in hearing performers sing current hits. At 18, Jason moved to Nashville to seek a recording contract. Despite market interest, he quickly became disillusioned with the business and culture of the mainstream music industry. He decided to return to Mississippi. On the drive home, he encountered an Air Force recruiting station and went in. He enlisted and served for the next six years as an Arabic translator, which left little time to play guitar or write songs.

After leaving the Air Force, Jason moved to Fort Worth, Texas, and got a day job working in a bank's IT department. As an outlet, he began playing open-mike nights and developed a local following. A transformative revelation from this experience was learning that Texas audiences differed considerably from those in Mississippi: they wanted to hear original music, not covers. He began to work on his songwriting, and soon thereafter quit his day job to devote himself to music full-time.  

In Texas, he’s a seminal part of the new generation of songwriters filling the shoes of all the past Texas greats like Guy Clark, Blaze Foley, and Townes Van Zandt. Eady secured his place in the pantheon of new great songwriters in part with the 2021 song “French Summer Sun” that went on to be named the Saving Country Music Song of the Year.

On his new album Mississippi, Eady’s not just infusing this country blues influence into his music in subtle textures for a song or two. He’s bringing it right to the forefront, getting a little bit funky, and laying down grooves that mix that sweaty gulf air with a ladle full of lard to cook up something greasy.
