Creating and performing music across the country, North Carolina-based singer songwriter guitarist Jason LeVasseur has been continually engaging listeners nationwide. Jason's style fuses together numerous influences creating a "charismatic propulsive acoustic pop" sound which is apparent on his CDs; Watching the Girls Go By and the live release, The Opening Guy. The Columbia Free Times was specifically taken by "great songwriting and energy uncommon in acoustic-based music." Throughout 2005 Jason is touring nationally in support of his new album, Driver Is The DJ. It is a collection of 12 original songs, carried by Jason's gritty, soulful voice and backed by none other than his trusty acoustic guitar and an array of stellar North Carolina musicians. The new album is Jason’s second studio release, a powerful follow-up to Watching The Girls Go By.
Jason’s success begins with the strength of his songwriting, but it is in his live performances where Jason gains most of his devoted fans. The diverse compositions found on the live CD, "The Opening Guy," contain a spectrum of styles ranging from blues to sentimental ballad, straight-ahead rock strumming to pensive pop. "In Jason's music, smart lyrics mix with poignant arrangements to form a solid foundation of songs that blend memorable melodies and his rhythmic strumming." The crisp recording of this CD showcase Jason’s talents as a live performer.
