Jason Bean is a singer-songwriter from Syracuse New York. With two albums to his credit ("Take Your Time" in 2005 and "When History Lets You Go" in 2006) and a third, "What It Seems" completed for a summer 2008 release, Jason has proven he can stay true to his musical roots while still evolving as both a writer and a performer. Songs that make you think and songs that think for you, songs that carry you and songs that stay with you. Appealing to audiences young and old, Jason has been performing for crowds of every type. Whether it be summer festival stages with his full backing band or small acoustic settings during the winter, his songs translate into a feeling that everybody has had but few can recreate. Jasons short run of a live career has fostered rave reviews, radio appearances, and featured newspaper articles in and around Central New York as he works diligently towards that next step. Though his format has changed throughout the years, his music has maintained the rock and calm that is unique to the artist. Don't miss Jasons upcoming summer season with his latest lineup and new album "What It Seems". Also be sure to check his official website for news and other show updates.
What It Seems
Review by Mark Bialczak
With his 11 original songs on 'What It Seems',
singer, guitarist and songwriter Jason Bean builds
to a big ending. Within the songs, Bean knows
HOW to work his words and the music by his tight
band. Brother Chris Bean on drums, pianist Paul
Thompson, guitarist Josh Grosvent and bassist
Josh Coy all head steadily toward a crescendo.
They rock. They're bold. They're satisfying.
Thompson's keyboard dances as Jason Bean
ratches up the angst on 'Lights & Chrome'.
"You're too beautiful and kind, just the kind that
I might like, make up my mind." He sings, "You
can't get silence from a storm. You can't get wind
to keep you warm. You can't go blind if you can't
see. So don't expect no love from me."
The guitars get fiery and intense on the big, grand
rocker 'Us'. The drums build tension in 'Better Now'.
And they all come together in the closing look at
life, 'Til I'm Old'. The guys all know each other from
their days at Phoenix High School.

I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you. Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you. I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down, I want to come too.
I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
No one understands me, quite like you do, Through all of the shadowy corners of me.
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much. All of the while, I never knew. I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much. All of the while, I never knew.
I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you. Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you. I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine, Now I'm shining too.
Because, oh because, I've fallen quite hard over you.
If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know. If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone.
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much. All of the while, I never knew. I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much. All of the while, I never knew.
All of the while, all of the while, And it's you.
Thanks for a great 1-8! I cant wait for our little "get-a-way"...talk to you later babe.
