The Jason Boone Band Bluegrass Band from Brandon, MS

Formed in the fall of 2004, The Jason Boone Band is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Southeast bluegrass music scene. This group has evolved from the imaginations of two of the members, Jason Boone and Don Robinson to a well-oiled machine of strong vocals, hard-driving picking, super-charged stage performances, quality recordings, and creative songwriting! The Jason Boone Band's repertoire moves seamlessly from traditional bluegrass with a contemporary slant to country ballads to old-time material and then to heart-lifting gospel songs. They are truly a group on the rise! So watch out for 'em! Jason Boone, the namesake of the band sings the high vocals and does the guitar work. Don Robinson plays the banjo, finger-picks guitar, sings a great deal of the lead vocals, and does the emcee for the JBB. His down-home style puts audiences at ease quickly while on stage. Don has also written a lot of the group's recorded material. Johnny Rawls, a multi-talented musician and songwriter, plays the acoustic upright bass for the band. Johnny's dry wit is always a hit with the fans. He always has some words of "wisdom" for the crowd and his timing on bass is impeccable. Johnny is also an accomplished clawhammer banjoist and is featured on every show. Lee Ely joined the group on mandolin in the fall of 2005. Haling from the Mississippi Delta, Lee also sings the third harmony part for the JBB. A gentleman in every sense of the word as well as a fine singer, watch for Lee to step forward and sing a lead vocal in the future! Jeff Boone, the newest member of the JBB, hales from Angie, Louisiana. Jeff's fiddling has definitely added a new dimension to the band's overall sound. He knows that great bluegrass fiddlers know when and what to play and more importantly when not to! .
