Jason Fowler
Artist Bio
Jason Fowler is a Toronto guitarist/singer/songwriter and producer. He has released seven solo albums and has played on over 100 other recordings.
Jason has toured as guitarist and musical director with renowned Irish tenor John McDermott since 2001. During the pandemic Jason and his wife Melanie Conly spent many quiet evenings singing and playing together at home. The culmination of that musical alchemy is a uncommon mixture of modern, folk and classical music, and since the world re-opened they’ve been performing as a duo.
Jason’s most recent album, Forelsket (released March 2024) is an evocative assemblage of 13 instrumental guitar pieces, ranging in style from folk to classical to jazz to Hawaiian slack-key. It features accordion (Mark Lalama on The Earl of Merle), violin (Drew Jurecka on L’Esprit De L’Escalier) and clarinet (Drew Jurecka on The Earl of Merle). It includes brand new recordings of 3 previously released compositions (Solaris, Midwestern Lament and Lumens of Light), which Jason felt belonged on this album as they have become richer and deeper in the intervening years.
