Jaywah is the nickname of local Brizvegas muso Jason Castle. After a decade or two of playing with bands, Jason thought is was well overdue that he released a recording of his own. He has been lucky enough to have secured the fantastic services of some of Brizzies most talented players and has put together a product that he thinks gives an indictaion of what his songwriting is and also an idea of how he has progressed as a singer/guitarist.
Describing a genre this day and age is a mission to say the least, but in a short sentence the music is."WORLD ROOTS ROCK". Jason plays dobro lap steel, acoustic and electric guitars so this means that although it's definently guitar driven, the music is also varied in it's tones and energy giving the listener an indication of jason's art.
