Catchy jam-pop; dramatic melodic ballads; wide array of genres
"A true talent." --Editorial Staff, Asheville Bands myspace
"Martin places his music somewhere between pop and jam, but on first listen it sounds like a singer-songwriter rocking a synthesizer rather than an acoustic guitar." --Steve Shanafelt, Mountain Xpress Arts & Entertainment Editor
"Martin writes original music for the guitar and synthesizer in a combination that creates energetic, erratic pop tech-rock tracks." --Amy Jones, Asheville Citizen-Times Take 5 feature article
"I found [Jason Ross Martin's] music to be very original and refreshingly guile-less." --Mountain Xpress Listening Party reviewer
Thanks for checking out my page everyone. At this point in my life I am compelled to try my best to fill the Earth with beautiful things--for I know that my time here is fleeting and that God has blessed me with many visions. I am in love with life--most especially when I am chasing my Muse deep into my own secret idea of what I would be doing if I really am who I think I might be...
I play guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and banjo (however poorly! But I suspect I will emerge on that instrument as an old Greybeard, especially given my shaky knees...) I am also a poet, and a painter. Thus, my art seems to be a union of these three fine arts.... the sound, the words, and the images are equally vital to me.
