Meet Jason:

Residing in the remote Applegate Valley in the Siskiyou mountain range of Oregon, Jason Dea West is an American troubadour who sings what he lives and lives what he sings. His poignant lyrics are brilliantly blended with vintage country, folk and blues, and timely sensibilities. From epic guitar and harmonica instrumentals to humorous song as story, he never strays far from the anarchic punk-folk roots of his beloved former band Barefoot Surrender –with Benjamin Tod of Lost Dog Street Band and more – and his celebrated current band, Intuitive Compass. West’s younger days as a busker and freight train hopper fostered his keen sense of road-inspired American musical history. He toured extensively with guest musicians and bands throughout the lower forty-eight states and Alaska, appearing in barn dances and taverns, theaters and music festivals, the circus and vaudeville circuits, on radio and in film. He has shared the stage with the likes of Larry and His Flask, Lost Dog Street Band, Hot Damn Scandal, Lucas Hicks, The Crux, Carl Kummerlei, and countless others.

Dea West has worked with several renowned recording engineers, including Scot Hackwith, Dennis Dragon, and Steven Hart, producing six studio albums, each of which has its own strange story and style. He belongs to the wild lands and what is left of the American countryside.
