"Jason Bennett goes old-school with Acoustic Harbor with an inexpensive four-track recorder, a microphone, a guitar and an empty laundry room. The result is ten songs that are incredibly well-crafted and emotionally immediate."
-JASON RIGGS, SINGER-SONGWRITER

Hey folks. Just wanted to update you on what's been going on lately. I have a new batch of songs. I think I've penned about 14 new ones in the last few months. I am looking forward to recording them all on the upcoming cd which is going to be called "Acoustic Harbor." Most of it will be acoustic stuff, but there will be a few full productions as well. Other than that I have just been stumblin' around, staring out at the beautiful Puget Sound and trying to take light steps. I saw a pod of Orcas (killer whales) the other day. The Pacific Northwest is a magical place. I plan on booking some more coffeehouse gigs too. I will post the dates when I get them finalized.....jb

Thanks to all who came out to the downtown Olympia Starbucks to see me play. It is always nice to play in such a wonderful location like historic downtown Olympia. I will keep you all posted when the next gigs are announced. See ya all down on the avenue.....

Hello friends and fans alike. My new CD, "Self Portrait" is now available. You can get your own copy from cdbaby.com/jasonbennett2 or you can e-mail me from this site for more information.

There are still a few copies left of my first cd as well. "The Atascadero Sessions" is a very raw, acoustic album and will probably be out of print in the near future. This cd has sold in over nine countries. Get your copy before it is out of print.......

"Call him Jake, call him Mr. Spoon. Catch him nappin' in the afternoon. Gamble, ramble all around. Mr. Jake gonna split this town....."
