A rock album featuring members of The Afterglow and Third Eye Blind members Kevin Cadogan (producer, guitar) and Arion Salazar (bass).
After spending several years as a touring drummer, Jason began writing pop-rock songs on the piano. As the touring days with his band were beginning to fade, Jason decided to step out on his own. It wasn't long before he was performing piano renditions of his songs and covers of his favorite Third Eye Blind songs that he began gaining the attention of friends and college crowds. After two years of writing the best twenty or so songs that he could, Jason reached out to long-time influence Kevin Cadogan, the original guitarist for Third Eye Blind, who helped write hits such as "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", "Losing A Whole Year", "Motorcycle Drive By", "God of Wine", "Deep Inside of You", "Never Let You Go", "How It's Going To Be", "Graduate", and "Wounded". After hearing the demos, Kevin couldn't help but to be impressed, and quickly signed on as Jason's producer and recording guitarist for the project. Soon enough, Kevin recruited Arion Salazar, long-time bassist for Third Eye Blind, to take over bass for the album. The recording process will take place at a private studio in San Francisco in November of 2012, with the album scheduled to be released on Itunes just before Christmas. The album will feature 10 songs, including a cover of Third Eye Blind's "Blinded" with Kevin on guitar and Arion on bass. This lineup of musicians will release two additional bonus tracks in the future as well, collaborating for a total of twelve songs.
The funds for this project go towards additional studio time, mastering, mixing, CD duplication, travel, and other expenses. While the goal is set at just $2,000, the total cost of this project is actually much more. We're not asking you to "donate", we're asking you to purchase this project in advance, while you sit back and let us reward you for it. We promise you... the music alone will blow you away.
