"Twisted Roots" is a CD about following your Dreams and being Aware. In a World currently transfixed on War and Reality TV Shows, here comes a collection of music with substance. The music has been best described as "moody, trippy, driving, and melodic." Introspective epics combined with catchy rock & roll pop songs that can be performed with just a vocal and an acoustic guitar as Jason often does.
While forming the band, Jason found himself playing with various notable musicians along the way. He toured North America along with Ace Frehley's Band, singing and playing guitar for Peter Criss of KISS' band "CRISS". He's been a sub guitar player for BERLIN (Terri Nunn). And he can be seen in the Hollywood circuit at celebrity jams sitting in with anyone from Slash to Jeff Goldblum.
Upon uniting a little over 2 years ago, they immediately headed into the studio and began recording the CD now known as "Twisted Roots", with music targeting important issues from self-doubt to Cloning. "I'm out to raise the awareness of the individual through music" says Ebs. The live show caught the attention of Peter Castillo from independent label MusicRocks Records who then began financing the CD. Peter then brought veteran engineer / producer Baker Bigsby into the project.
Baker Bigsby brings with the expierience of over 750 records (15 of them Gold or Platinum), having worked with such artists as The Rolling Stones, Rose Royce, The Band and Joe Cocker. Co-producing the CD with Jason, he brings a vintage feel to a modern sound.
"Dreams May Fade" and "Christmas Chimes" have completed music videos to be included on the CD. "Chains" is currently #16 in the top 20 countdown on internet radios station Thunderground Radio.
Jason is receiving rave reviews of his live performances. Los Angeles based Magazine Music Connection writes "Ebs' presence is larger than life with his powerful range..." also stating that his band is "made up of super-tight and telented musicians who offer a compelling live show."
The record features Pennsylvania's own Jason Ebs on lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars, bass and percussion. Ohio's Tiger Shaw is on drums. Chris Hammer plays bass, vocals, keys and piano. Brett Dearth plays guitar, vocals and keys/piano. Additional lead guitars by Joel Amir and Nalle Colt.
"People are afraid to take chances". says Ebs, "because we're taught to take the safe and secure route. It's time to break free and reach for your dreams."
Well, reach on and thank you for listening...
