Creating and performing music for over a decade, singer-songwriter guitarist Jason LeVasseur is engaging listeners nationwide. Jason’s style fuses together numerous influences creating a ‘charismatic propulsive acoustic pop’ sound which is apparent on his latest live release The Opening Guy. The Columbia Free Times was specifically taken by “great songwriting and energy uncommon in acoustic-based music”.
It is a collection of 10 original songs, carried by Jason's gritty, soulful voice and backed by none other than his trusty acoustic guitar. The diverse compositions found on The Opening Guy contain a spectrum of styles ranging from blues to sentimental ballad, straight-ahead rock strumming to pensive pop.
For the last few years Jason has been writing and recording with award-winning band Life in General. The duo was selected as one of Musician Magazine’s “Top 100 Unsigned Bands” in the country. Recently, Jason was named the “Best Small Venue Performer” for 2002 by Campus Activi
