JASON DEA WEST
Jason Dea West is an American troubadour who sings what he lives and lives what he sings. Wests’ poignant lyrics are brilliantly blended with vintage country, folk and blues, and timely sensibilities. From epic guitar and harmonica instrumentals to humorous song as story, Jason never strays very far from the anarchic punk-folk roots of his beloved former band Barefoot Surrender and his celebrated current band Intuitive Compass.
Jason’s younger days as a busker and freight train hopper fostered his keen sense of road-inspired American musical history. Jason toured extensively with guest musicians and bands throughout the lower 48 States and Alaska, appearing in barn dances and taverns, theaters and music festivals, the circus and vaudeville circuits, on radio and in film. He has shared the stage with the likes of Lost Dog Street Band, The Resonant Rogues, Larry And His Flask, Hot Damn Scandal countless others.
Dea West has worked with several renowned recording engineers, including Scot Hackwith, Dennis Dragon, Dan Emery and Steven Hart, producing several studio albums and a recent live “Magnolia Session” via Anti-Corp Records of Nashville, TN which placed #15 on the Billboard Bluegrass charts in October 2020. In 2021 West began work on two new EPs, one “Lost Camp Dreams”, with Scott Hackwith at Cassette LA which is officially available December 30th of 2021, the second EP to be released later in ‘22 shall remain mysterious until further notice.
Jason belongs to the wild lands and what is left of the American countryside…
“He’s The Troubadours Troubadour"
MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DUO
Born and raised in the cultural stew of Southwest Louisiana, Jesse Young(guitar/vocals), serenaded swooning lovebirds on New Orleans’ only Venetian gondola, before Hurricane Katrina sent him running for high ground. Since 2005 Jesse’s swamp/country/ jazz tinged interpretations have become a fixture of the Northwest music scene, having played the Waterfront Blues Festival, The Portland Jazz Festival, the Pendleton Round Up, as well as many local eateries and establishments. Jesse employs a looper, whereby he’s able to record his guitar on the fly, and adding layers to it, creating a sound bigger than the sum of its parts. Jesse will be joined by local esteemed drummer David Owen.
David brings a versatile rhythm to the duo. His musical voyage spans the Pacific Northwest, California, and Disney's recording studios. Yet, it was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that his beat truly resonated, collaborating for two defining years with the soulful Lowenbad band. Dave's dedication to his craft led him to prestigious mentors, including Don Worth Sr., Roger Allen, Stanton Moore, and Johnny Vidocovich, shaping his skill set at the SONO drum camp in New Orleans. Dave Owen's drumming is more than performance—it's an evolution, a blend of experiences that harmonize into a unique and yet deeply rooted sound.
