Jason Erie

“Hyper-sensory storytelling with raw, hard-hitting images and a white-knuckle worldview that seems best cultivated in the Garden State, Jason’s stories and his songs are ultimately and triumphantly his own.” -- Producer, John Dennis

Americana artist Jason Erie was born and raised in northern New Jersey. Music was a part of his life from the age of three, singing folk songs as his father played guitar in their basement. After his parents’ divorce, while watching his mother struggle with addiction and his father cope with depression, Jason began writing songs.

His teenage years were molded by the tiny two-bedroom apartment that he shared with his mother. After getting sober, she turned their home into a halfway house, helping others in recovery. The tragic nature of addiction and sobriety was inescapable. Jason started using music as a daily coping mechanism, writing about the people he grew to love but lost.

Nashville has become a home for Jason, quickly reigniting his love for songwriting and performing. His distinct lyrical style and soaring vocals have been compared to Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, and Bruce Springsteen. Northern Americana at its core, with explosions of unhinged emotion, Jason Erie’s sound paints a grimly beautiful picture of suburbanite America in decay. With songs composed in a marriage of structure and chaos, he mashes Americana storytelling with the punk-rock edge he grew up on. What results is his truly unique style.
