notes

Jason Reeves is an emerging singer/songwriter from Iowa City, Iowa. With the recent release of Makeshift Aircraft, his second studio album, he has been pushed quickly into the surrounding scene. Jason is being described as a mix between Jackson Browne, Nick Drake and John Mayer, and is a self-taught guitar player that hasn't ever taken a lesson. In the summer of 2002 Reeves toured Europe singing with in the Midwest Honor Choir, and also plays the piano, bass, drums, harmonica and mandolin.

"You feel a bit like you're a fly on the wall in Jason's room, hearing him work out the puzzle of the world with his guitar....The closest comparison is perhaps Nick Drake, but again, Reeves doesn't sound anything like him. What Reeves shares with Drake is an ability to glean a fresh melody and an open-hearted lyric from the well trampled fields of the folk-pop tradition...While I think everyone who can, should play music, most aren't doing the world a favor by recording a CD of their songs."
-Kent Williams, The Little Village

"The best we've had all year." --The Vine and Mondos downtown Iowa City

  • Jason Reeves is stunning in his sophomore album
    author: Jonathan Stensvaag

    Jason Reeves is absolutely stunning in his sophomore cd. You can really see the growth from "Castle, Cowboys, and Boot-Dancin' Horses" to "Makeshift Aircraft". As usual Reeves gives the listener a great treat with his smooth melody and skillful guitar playing. By expanding out on this cd the product was a magnificent one. This a cd to be owned by anyone who has a love for folk.

  • Jason Reeves deserve's fame.
    author: Nathan Gilpin

    I've known Jason for 4 years now and i have been amazed by how nice and talented he is. If i had a million dollar's i'd give half of it to him so he can make it, cause i know he would.

  • silent desires no more
    author: KayJay

    I told him after the first time I heard him play that he brought to life the music I always dreamed of hearing but never actually experienced outside of my imagination. There's really no other explanation for it--it's an absolutely genius album...thank you J.
