(Violin/Fiddle)

Jason, from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, realized that he wanted to play the violin at age 3 after seeing Itzhak Perlman play for Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street and at age 5, he started in the local Suzuki program.  Jason graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in Music Education, where he was president of the Beta Tau chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.  For the past two summers he performed at HersheyPark in the bluegrass/country band, Sonic Roots. Five years ago, Jason was watching Barrage from the audience; now, he is living his dream as a Barrage violinist.
