Artist picture
Acoustic solo artist from Fredericton New Brunswick, playing original pieces.
A 22 year old singer/songwriter from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Jason has grown over the past several years into an original artist toting his own brand of acoustic pop from show to show. Although his style has been compared to current musicians such as John Mayer, Howie Day and James Blunt, it carries a sound of its own, separating him from many other acoustic songwriters. Influenced by great songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and others, Jason attempts to create a sense of realism in his lyrics along with an easy to listen to vibe and catchy melody. Jason has been seen performing live at several venues including the Capital Open Mic, the Red n' Black Revue and the Neil Coffee House. Currently, functioning as a solo act, Jason has also worked with other local artists such as Kaylee Hopkins (www.myspace.com/kayleeonwindsor) and Tyler Lombard (www.myspace.com/TylerLombard).

Story behind the song
Although not completely clear from the start this song ended up being about my friends and just how our lives seemed to be last year... and this year.
Lyrics
Knock it back babe, I still see some tears in your eyes Was the whisky not enough, to drown away all the pain from everyday of living in the shadow of something, close to nothing, left in your glass, your flat on your ass, but you still look beautiful to me... Little more than a week ago you showed up at my door with a bottle of gin, you said, can't you see, that I need a little bit of something to help me sleep. You walked through the door, fell to the floor and cried on the steps So I picked you up and look you to bed.. and I said... Knock it back babe, I still see some tears in your eyes Was the whisky not enough, to drown away all the pain from everyday of living in the shadow of something, close to nothing, left in your glass, your flat on your ass, but you still look beautiful to me... Waking up that morning, the sun was to bright for you. But even under covers, I could tell you were the same. You left around noon to find yourself another bottle of booze, Another bed, another night and another guy thats going to feel sorry for you.. and say Knock it back babe, I still see some tears in your eyes Was the whisky not enough, to drown away all the pain from everyday of living in the shadow of something, close to nothing, left in your glass, your flat on your ass, but you still look beautiful to me...
