About
I play classic country and classic rock. But there’s more! I take songs from various genres and turn them into folk, country and sometimes way out jazz odyssey tunes. And, I’m an Americana singer-songwriter with plenty of interesting originals. If that’s not enough, I can also play jazz piano.

Freddy and The Beard played our HOA summer event and made the whole thing. Jason's communication was great from booking through showtime, they arrived right on time, and they sounded great — everyone loved them. We'll definitely be booking them again. Highly recommend.

We had a fun evening of great music and familiar songs for our mostly 60+ group. Jason has a large playlist of songs from different genres for different age groups. He’s personable and “reads his audience” well. I would certainly recommend him to others.

Jason was amazing! He did an awesome job entertaining our guests and played our favorite songs. He wasn't familiar with a song we wanted to have a first dance to, but surprised us by learning it as a special gift. We highly recommend Jason

We were very pleased when Jason came out played for our group for a couple of hours! He came out early to ensure he had everything set up on time. Jason is very friendly and he played even better than we expected! Everyone had a great time and enjoyed hearing Jason play. Jason was perfect for our group and played all of the popular bar hits! We decided to book again and have him back in April. Everyone is so excited to have him back!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Price is different depending on the ensemble size. Solo vs duo vs etc. If you want dancing, the ensemble size will need to be at least a trio (though I often have dancers even when solo).
If you want me as a regular performer .. example every 2nd Thursday of each month, I offer a discounted price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I explain what type of music I play and what formats I can play in. Formats meaning what size ensembles, what instrumentations and what genres.
If that sounds good to the customer, we work on a price based on the desired format.
Depending on when the gig is, we can discuss any special requests. A good rule is for every month away the gig is, that about how many new songs I can learn for you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Years of guitar and piano lessons as well as vocal coaching.
