Jason Webley
April 27th, 2008

There is music that entertains us, music that provokes us, and then there is that one category that transcends our reality, and makes us part of the experience. Jason Webley transcends all that is. Period. I knew the show was going to be amazing, when I saw him mike the floor. Of all the live performances I have ever seen, this one might be the best. Ever. There is no premise. There is no script. There is just an artist, projecting into an audience and an audience, doing their best to keep up.
All musicians should take note, and see that merely performing one night a month, is not enough. Just as artists cannot turn off the urges to create, great musicians make great music and we are humbled to be in their very prescence. Or maybe we might drink one too many Miller Lites and harrass the living daylights out of such a person. Either way, days later, you will think to yourself, did I really SEE that? Wow.
Mr. Webley has set the bar for every single musician I ever see again. And that bar is high. I urge you to purchase his music, all of it, and make it a priority to see him, anytime you can. We are surrounded with pre-fabricated houses, pre-fabricated movies and god-awful pop music that I could mix in my very own basement. This is real, it is talent, and it is damn entertaining. Thanks, Jason Webley, for inspiring and for keeping music alive these days!
Now, off you go, buy some music and see something real for once!
