Country Music Television (CMT) to
Send Film Crew to Kick’n Up Kountry

Jason Jones, a new entertainer who performed for the KUK Audience in 2007 and will be back again in 2008, is following his dreams and making his new fans proud with his musical accomplishments in Nashville, Tennessee.

In only nine months, 25 year-old Jason Jones went from waiting tables at a local music business haunt to singing demos and co-writing with Nashville's top writers to writing full time for Warner Chappell Music.  His youthfulness, however, belies an older, more seasoned voice.  There is a rawness and a soulfulness in Jason's voice and the music he sings that cuts through the offerings by many current young vocalists. 

He has opened for such acts as Don Williams, Glen Campbell, The Oakridge Boys, and newcomers, Sugarland.  Also, Jason most recently landed the lead role in an upcoming television show entitled Only in Nashville, about a singer/songwriter who leaves it all behind to make it in country music.  He knows that these are all small yet crucial steps in what can be a long and winding road to the fulfillment of a dream.  It is this attitude, combined with his fresh musical instincts that will no doubt lead Jason to a very long and successful music career.

 

On Monday, May 12, 2008, Jason was officially signed to Warner Brothers Records in Nashville, TN.  Jones, has been living in Nashville for the past few years and working hard to make it in the country music business.  "It's a dream come true for me, and I am truly blessed to be in the company of so many other great artists at the label, past and present," said Jones in a Tuesday, May 13 email. He also recognized his fans who supported him along the way, thanking them for their love and friendship
