Description
As a product of Texas, it might be easy to lump Jayson's music in with every other Texas Americana music artist. Jayson's music though is finding fans all over the country and the world. From folk music lovers, to rock-n-roll, to country music fans, Jayson seems to cross boundaries in his writing that is finding fans on all levels. Through his experiences at Texas Tech and polishing his songwriting skills at the Kerrville Folk Festival, Jayson has developed music relationships and shared the stage with every type of artist; from Texas Country stars Pat Green and Robert Earl Keen, to Eagles member and solo rocker Bernie Leadon to New York Classical Composer David Amram.
Jayson has already won the prestigious national Woody Guthrie Songwriter's Award as well as been a Semi-Finalist in the BW Stevenson Singer-songwriter competition.
Here's what others are saying about the album Pretty Good Year:
"Mr. Bales is a thoughtful, sometimes idealistic lyricist and a crafter of nice melodies. The album Pretty Good Year shows a lot of potential. Quarterlife Crisis is a toe tapping gem." Mario Tarradell The Dallas Morning News
"Pretty Good Year displays a literary deftness with his story-songs that few songwriters today possess let alone attempt. The song El Capitan de Galveston is one of the best I've heard this year." RockzillaWorld Music Reviews
"Jayson's songs have a raw insight into everyday life and a witty humor that is reminiscent of a young Robert Earl Keen." David Byboth, Texas Nights North
