Guitarist Jason Rhodes was born in Mississippi, where Delta Blues was rooted in every day life.

"Being born into such a pure and soulful musical atmosphere, AND a musical family was a priceless gift", says Jason. Jason's father, (Michael Rhodes) is an industry renowned bass player. Having the opportunity to grow up around legendary artists helped cultivate Jason's appreciation for many styles of music.

"I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience so many musical styles and learn from such a wide range of talented performers. I've been able to take pieces of the unique elements of these different musical genres, and combine them into the way I play.”

“When it comes to my approach to music, I play for the song — whether it be complex or simple, electric and gritty, or organic and acoustic...it all boils down to melody and emotion. If you've got that, everything else tends to fall into place."

Jason has been part of numerous working bands, supported various artists, performed live on television and radio, and has played with musicians of all styles...ranging from hard rock superstars to 80's pop icons, to American Idol finalists.
