They say that blues will make you feel. If this is true, then anyone sensitive to touch should steer clear of the Jason King Band.
Led by Jason King Roxas on lead guitar and vocals, the Jason King Band deals only in the heartiest of Blues. Backed by the talents of Tommy Stiles (guitar, lap slide, pedal steel), Wil Banks (Bass) and Michael Patrick Moore (drums), the Jason King Band is a focused, power-packed quartet determined to make you move.
It's been said that “Blues is easy to play but hard to feel.” Comprised of members that were born for this genre, the Jason King Band make what they do look easy. But, what sets the Jason King Band apart from other bands is the amount of heart in their songs. Their lyrics help set the mood while their instruments tell the story.
The Jason King Band has shared the stage with a number of modern Blues icons including Jonny Lang, Michael Burks, Tommy Castro Band, and Angela Strehli. The band’s power and determination shines through on their first full-length album, Blue Skies and Black Shoes; a compilation of 11 original songs that showcase the band’s talent and musical range. Blue Skies & Black Shoes recently received the "Best CD of 2009" award for Northern Nevada.
