ASHEVILLE, NC -(December 2008)- Punk accordionist and world troubadour Jason Webley is described by the Seattle Times as "one of Seattle's most talented musicians, a singer-songwriter with a rare gift for crafting timeless songs that approach Waits and Leonard Cohen territory." His relentless touring
schedule has built him a cult following all over North America, Europe and Australia, as well as a bizarrely large and loyal following in Russia.
Known for bellowing out apocalyptic dirges in a sandpaper baritone to the accompaniment of his squeezebox and the stomping of his feet, Webley's true specialty is involving his audience in his music. Almost all of his concerts end with the entire crowd locked arm-in-arm, ecstatically singing at the tops of their lungs.
Webley frequently tours with his friends the Dresden Dolls and has recently shared stages with Architecture in Helsinki, the and Regina Spektor. He has just released his fifth full-length album, "The Cost of Living" on hisown independent Eleven Records label.
This intimate performance at Flood Gallery follows three sold out nights at the
Orange Peel supporting the Avett Brothers, and is Webley's only solo concert
in the area.
