About Jason Wells Music
Hailing from a small Indiana town, Jason Wells developed a passion for music through his father's diverse record collection. Inspired by the likes of Peter Frampton, he dreamt of a career as a guitarist. Self-taught since the age of 12, he briefly set aside his musical aspirations for a conventional life. The 2008 economic downturn changed everything. Job loss became the opportunity for Jason to pursue music full-time. The passing of his father in 2011 fueled his commitment to live his dream. Armed with minimal equipment, Jason passionately played, turning dreams into reality.
Now, the Jason Wells Band, starting from scratch, boasts five CDs, radio airplay, and notable performances at venues like Buddy Guy's Legends and the Dallas International Guitar Festival. Additionally, they have shared bills/stages with Eric Johnson, Samantha Fish, Candlebox, and more, becoming a fixture in the Midwest music scene. Jason's contributions extend to speaking at Elmhurst College and crafting a guide for aspiring musicians.
From a small-town dreamer to a Midwest musical force, the journey of the Jason Wells Band is one of determination, passion, and leaving an indelible mark on the music landscape.
