In addition to releasing several CDs of his own, Jason Wilber has played lead guitar for John Prine, Hal Ketchum, Iris DeMent, Greg Brown, Todd Snider, Greg Trooper, Carrie Newcomer, and Tim Grimm. His work with John Prine includes the 2006 Grammy Award winning album Fair & Square.
Jason also hosts a weekly radio program called In Search of a Song which features informal discussions and musical collaborations between Jason and guest singer-songwriters. Discussions focus on music, songwriting, and the creative process. It's sort of like Piano Jazz meets Austin City Limits.
