25-year-old Jason Anick is a Boston-based performer, composer, and educator, who is rapidly making a name for himself in the world of jazz violin and mandolin. In 2007 he won top honors for improvisation in the ATSA Alternative Styles competition and performed with the Robin Nolan Trio at the Montreal Jazz Festival. In 2008, while still a senior at the prestigious Hartt Conservatory, Jason began touring both nationally and internationally with Grammy award-winning Nashville guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson. He went on to record on Jorgenson's latest CD "One Stolen Night", which was named one of the top 10 albums of 2010 by the LA Times and Acoustic Guitar Magazine. 2011 marks the release of Jason's debut solo album "Sleepless", which was cited by jazzmando.com as "...a must have for any jazz violin/mandolin fans". Jason's performances have taken him all over the world to China, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands as well as renowned venues such as The Montreal Jazz Festival, Scullers Jazz Club, Yoshis Jazz Club, The Iridium, NPR's Mountain Stage, and The Ark. Jason is also a sought-after teacher and clinician and has taught jazz violin and mandolin at Christian Howes' Creative Strings Workshop, Fiddle Hell, Django in June, DjangoFest Northwest, and numerous K-12 string programs throughout the United States. He also regularly contributes columns on learning Gypsy Jazz to Fiddler Magazine. Well versed in many styles, Jason is a top call in the Boston music scene and has recorded and shared the stage with artists such as Nat Reeves, Andreas Oberg, Stochelo Rosenberg, David Grisman, Tommy Emmanuel, Julian Lage, Christian Howes, Matt Glaser, Frank Vignola, Robin Nolan, Gonzalo Bergara, Girls Guns and Glory, Bronze Radio Return, and The Pixies' Frank Black.
