“The Godfather of Americana”

— Mojo

Jason Ringenberg was born and raised on an Illinois hog farm that bordered the Rock Island Line Railroad. When he left for Nashville on 4th July 4, 1981, to pursue his dream of “making a band that could kick American roots music into the modern age!”  little did he know just how far that kick would go.  He immediately formed Jason & The Scorchers and never looked back. Throughout the '80s and '90s they tore up venues across the planet and became known as one of the most exciting live bands of their era. On classic LPs like Fervor and Lost and Found  they “singlehandedly rewrote the history of rock ‘n roll in the South” (Rolling Stone.)  Their instinctive ability to combine traditional country music with high-energy punk rock has not been surpassed to this day. In 2008 they were awarded the Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance. 

Never one to rest on his laurels, in 1999 the “Godfather of Americana” (Mojo) went solo. To date, he has released five  Jason Ringenberg solo albums, with everyone from the BBC  to USA Today  lauding his songwriting.  His high octane one-man show prompted The Times (UK) to call him “one of the most exciting performers of his generation.”  In 2002 he created a children’s music character called Farmer Jason, winning numerous awards including an Emmy  for his PBS  video program It's A Farmer Jason. Often, this relentless barnstormer will perform a Farmer Jason kids show in the daytime and a Jason Ringenberg concert at night in the same city. 

His latest album Stand Tall  was written whilst participating in the Artist in Residence Program for the National Park Service at Sequoia National Park.  It is not hard to imagine him writing songs whilst climbing a 10000 foot Sierra Nevada mountain!  That restless spirit will not be stilled.
