Jared Mahone

Has not connected their Facebook account.

What!? A white guy from Mid-west Ohio singing soul music for cheering crowds all over the country? It's hard to believe, but that's exactly what Jared Mahone consistently makes audiences do - believe. His authenticity comes through from the first note and grips you until the last. He has been called "a groove-driven, blue-eyed soul machine with gospel/folk/blues/rock undertones, all in the service of solid songwriting. The rhythmic chemistry and intensely focused performance style of Jared and his band results in a spiritual, soulful, thoughtful, and danceable presentation." (written by Brian Baker of citybeat.com)

In the so-often disappointing world of pop-culture radio, the Columbus, Ohio local music scene seems to be staying true to the art and progression of music and song craft. Just one listen at any one of the city-favorite clubs on O.S.U.'s campus will expose this healthy talent pool of bands who are devoted to building their local culture one eclectic brick at a time. Jared Mahone and his band have joined the ranks of these great musicians standing a foundation of contagious songs and infectious rhythm.

“Because of my family’s devotion to a life entwined with faith and song, I have been able to witness firsthand how honest music changes people’s lives. That’s the kind of music I want to continue to be a part of. That’s the kind of music I want to try and create.” -- Jared Mahone
