Bio:
Raised by Coyotes when left for dead after his family was attacked by wild Buffalos in the plains of Ontario, Jason Paul Johnston learned cowboy songs around the hobo campfires. He traveled further and learned the gospel songs of the parsons and railway workers. Resisting a life with either the wandering outlaws or multiple invitations to the circus, Jason followed his own path to the big city.
In the city, Jason found himself sleeping in shadows and shaving in Wal-mart appliance sections, slipping deeper and deeper until he was taken in by a wealthy and philanthropic computer network. He is now making sense of all this: gospel, country, urban, shadows, Canadian, futuristic - working it out in his own stories and song.
Jason is currently in the studio working on his first full length album with producer Bruce Anthony. Release late TBA 2009.

Just passing along the news about the new ReDuX:RMx album.
TWO, the second CD from ReDuX:RMx, infuses Latin, Euro and Asian influences with electronica to create 11 original nu-jazz world tracks. Diverse guitar styles and exotic world instruments create music that excites and moves in the coming together of races and cultures in the art and spirit of music.
