Influences
AC/DC, Black Sabbath, OURS, Crosby Stills & Nash, KISS (as a kid), Peter Frampton, STP, Aerosmith, Alice & Chains, and anything that's melodic. Although into the Acoustic Vibe, bring on the walls of electric guitars
While forming the band, Jason found himself playing with various notable musicians along the way. He toured North America along with Ace Frehley's Band, singing and playing guitar for Peter Criss of KISS' band "CRISS". He's been a sub guitar player for BERLIN (Terri Nunn). And he can be seen in the Hollywood circuit at celebrity jams sitting in with anyone from Slash to Jeff Goldblum.
Jason is receiving rave reviews of his live performances. Los Angeles based Magazine Music Connection writes "Ebs' presence is larger than life with his powerful range..." also stating that his band is "made up of super-tight and telented musicians who offer a compelling live show."
The record features Pennsylvania's own Jason Ebs on lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars, bass and percussion. Ohio's Tiger Shaw is on drums. Chris Hammer plays bass, vocals, keys and piano. Brett Dearth plays guitar, vocals and keys/piano. Additional lead guitars by Joel Amir and Nalle Colt.
