Dear friends, family, and fans,

Creatively, I am more alive than ever.

First, the podcast Something or Nothing is thriving. Jack and I are approaching the close of Season One, and our minds are already buzzing with ideas for Season Two. If you haven’t yet, I’d be so grateful if you followed and shared, it truly has something for everyone.

Meanwhile, we’ve been grinding in the recording studio, and I can honestly say it’s been the most fulfilling artistic experience of my life. Whiskey Walk was recently released, and it’s been met with such warmth. Thank you for welcoming it.

On a personal note, I’m proud to share that I’m 10 days sober. I have no intention of drinking again, and this clarity has only deepened my appreciation for the support I’ve received from all of you.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let’s carry this energy into the summer., Add Whiskey Walk and Something or Nothing to your playlists, and don’t hesitate to reach out with your thoughts. They mean the world.

With love and gratitude,

JG

As I write this, I’m shaking off the exhaustion from another late night—this time at the Shady Pines open mic with my talented friend, Cody Weathers. We've been making the rounds at open mics lately, and while this year has brought fewer live performances, it’s been a deeply creative season for me.

I’ve been spending more time in the studio, and recently released a demo version of a new track. That release gave my Spotify a small boost, and I’m committed to building on that momentum with consistent new content.

On another exciting note, Jack Davenport and I launched our podcast, SOMETHING OR NOTHING, and the response has already surpassed our expectations. You can listen to it directly on this site.

Stay tuned for upcoming performance dates, podcast drops, and new music releases. I appreciate all of your support—always.

With gratitude,
JG

Can you believe it's already April? As I near the milestone of five decades on this planet, I find myself reflecting on the journey that has shaped me into the person I am today. In honor of this moment of introspection, I'm excited to share a passion project I've been mulling over since the celebration of my fourth decade: The SOMETHING OR NOTHING Podcast.

In this podcast, best-selling author Jack Davenport and I dive deep into the complexities of the human experience. It's a conversation about life, growth, and the shared moments that unite us all.

But that's not all – Jack and I are also collaborating on my upcoming album. For me, 2025 is more about creative exploration than performance, and I can’t wait to bring you along on this journey. Stay tuned for updates along the way!

As I near the one-year mark back in Portland, I’m feeling more settled than ever before. This new chapter in the Pacific Northwest has truly become the most familial phase of my life. With the perfect partner, beloved pets, a new home, and two exciting projects in the works, I’m embracing the energy of renewal that comes with Spring.

I’ve been teasing my new music project for some time, but the red record light is finally on, and it feels incredible. Additionally, the first episode of my new podcast, SOMETHING OR NOTHING, is now in the editing phase. Both projects are co-captained by the incomparable Jack Davenport, one of the most talented individuals I’ve had the privilege of calling a friend.

We’re off to an amazing start, and while I may not be performing as much as I initially planned, the creativity is flowing at full force. I’m excited to see what emerges from all of this. I encourage you all to revisit my music page on Spotify before the the new batch of tunes is released. Join me in my evolution.

I'm pretty excited about this so I'm freeing the feline from the receptacle….. NEW PODCAST COMING SOON!!     SOMETHING OR NOTHING,  a compelling new podcast hosted by Jason Grant and Jack Davenport, will delve into the complexities of the human condition, and self-reflection through a rich tapestry of personal stories. Blending introspection, scientific insights, and captivating entertainment, the show invites the listeners to open a vein and embrace vulnerability in its purest form. Join Jason and Jack as they explore individual progressive development and open up the conversation on the SOMETHING OR NOTHING PODCAST.

A small group of us gathered in our nearly finished home to ring in the new year. Just before midnight, I invited anyone who wished to share their reflections on 2024 and their hopes for 2025. I’m proud to reflect on an incredible milestone: I performed over 50 shows in 2024, the most I've ever done as a solo artist. This achievement came amidst significant challenges— family health issues, work-related stresses, an election result that didn’t align with my, personal,  values, and two major relocations, including one halfway across the country and another into a fixer-upper that’s nearing completion, just to name a few.

Despite these hurdles, 2024 has not been a year of hardship. On the contrary, it’s been a year of growth and connection. I’ve made lifelong friends, reconnected with cherished family and friends, welcomed a new furry family member into my life, and poured my heart into the music scene. As I look ahead to 2025, I am excited about the new roots I’ve planted and the opportunities to further connect with those around me.

During our toast to 2024, we all agreed on one thing: the value of Human Interaction (HI) far exceeds that of AI. I am committed to providing more musical experiences in the coming year to foster these connections. Wishing you all a Happy New Year filled with love, growth, and meaningful moments.

The holiday season is upon us, and I find myself at the tail end of yet another move—this time just a few miles away. As anyone who's moved knows, it's a time-consuming process, and unfortunately, it has kept me from being as active as I’d like. However, I'll be back to my usual grind soon. I’m looking forward to 2025, as it's shaping up to be a year full of growth and opportunity. I'm hoping to snag some holiday shows so if you, or someone you know need some mellow acoustic vibes hit me up. I know the world has been quite divisive but, be kind to one another! I love you all!! Happy holiday season 

As fall gently ushers in a season of rest, I’ve decided to slow down my performance schedule. Since returning to the beautiful Pacific Northwest eight months ago, I’ve quietly re-integrated into the local music scene, as if I never left.

While I’m brimming with ideas for the future, we’re currently deep in the renovation of our new home, which has made it challenging to balance my time. I’m reaching out to venues in Lake Oswego and Beaverton, hoping to lay the groundwork for performances in 2025. If anyone has recommendations or advice on local venues, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.

I also want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support. This new musical chapter feels incredibly promising, and it’s all thanks to the encouragement I’ve received from each of you. Thank you for being such an important part of this journey.

September was truly special for me! I reconnected with more friends and family than I ever imagined, and it felt amazing! I love you all so much!  Now, onto October—my favorite month!  Although I've taken a bit of a breather performance-wise, some exciting things are happening outside the music scene. The best news, though? I’m heading back to the studio with one of the most GIFTED people I know. After a fantastic collaboration with my El Paso family, I'm inspired to keep this creative momentum going. I can’t reveal too much just yet, but trust me—there are some fun new collaborative sounds on the way! Wishing you all a wonderful Fall, my family!

Today, one year ago, I released what I consider to be my most consistent and personal body of work. While it's not perfect and there are aspects I might have approached differently, I am proud of this release for many reasons. Although it’s not my first release as JASON GRANT, it captures the therapeutic essence of my songwriting and marks the beginning of a blossoming phase in it that has yet to reach its full potential. It also garnered more streams than any other band or project I’ve been part of, solidifying my ambition as a solo artist. As I prepare to return to the studio for the follow-up, the growth in my artistry is evident in this new body of work. I can not WAIT for you all to hear what is next.
