JOHN & JASON

The story of John & Jason dates back to the sixties when John oriented to blues and rock and Jason to folk and country. They played and made songs together in early seventies  but then continued music-making on their separate roads. John released his first single record in 1970 and Jason in 1976.  They met again after almost 40 years .  The results are countryfolk songs played with a great feeling and harmony  - Two men and two acoustic guitars!
