   About Jason Ring
Biography:

Jason Ring is known as a "one man country-bluegrass-blues band," and has been characterized by the International Bluegrass Music Association as one of the "Fresh Sounds in the World of Bluegrass" (IBMA, Jan 2008)

"If this guy keeps it up, they could be talking about him decades from now like they talk about Bill Monroe today." Mark Waterbury (Music Morsels)

From his birth in Galax, Virginia in the shadow of the world-famous Galax Fiddler's Convention to his love and mastery of the Delta Blues and everything in between, Jason is a must-see artist.

His music is a 25 year stew still in the brew. At the age of 5, by the instruction of his family, Jason started playing bluegrass and piedmont blues. Over time jazz, ragtime, and gypsy swing made it's way through his music. While skillfully being able to play almost any stringed instrument, he's also savvy enough to throw down on a smooth skat including his impressive "mouth trumpet."

Now this multi-faceted artist has recorded his latest CD, Patchwork, which powerfully displays not only his skills as a musician but also demonstrates his passionate energy and love of traditional roots music with a spin.

Jason's drive and inability to be satisfied musically guarantee that each performance can only become more intricate and more captivating.

Discography:

album coverJASON RING: Patchwork

An energetic blend of blues, bluegrass, jazz and ragtime. This multifaceted artist and his "flaming fingers" are guaranteed to captivate and astound audiences.

Hey there, Hope all is well in VA. I am just getting back into the ship routine and am having a real itching to go hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I am thinking I could hike from Amherst to Roanoke or vise versa in 5-7 days.
Do you have any idea if this is feasible?
