Hello, and thanks so much for viewing my page! My name is Jason Graham, and I specialize in playing fun covers in a wide variety of genres, whether it be top 40, classic rock, folk or country. I have a wide variety in my set list, and can cater my shows too many different ages and styles. I have been lucky enough to travel the world playing music on cruise ships for the past few years, and am excited to make San Diego my new home. I utilize live looping to build up layers in my songs, and bring a one man band energy to all of my shows, but I can also strip it down and have a more traditional acoustic vibe if that is what the show calls for. I really appreciate the consideration, and can guarantee to bring professionalism and a fun time! Thank you!

Perfect for: Events looking for Emerging Artists who play original music. House Concerts or Private Parties. Open to most Venues and Occasions. Gear: Provide a PA that can cover 300 people in a room or a small outdoor setting. Will bring all sound equipment needed. I will travel to an event outside the San Diego area depending on the details and what is required. Michael LeClerc is a Canadian singer/songwriter with a style reminiscent of Van Morrison, Dave Matthews or Jack Johnson. His sweet and soulful voice penetrates deeply, with a dream-like quality against an acoustic guitar that drifts between deftly executed finger-style to jangly strumming, and segues easily from love ballad to upbeat rocker. Currently located in Southern California, he is carving a niche for himself up and down the west coast, playing wineries, clubs and songwriter showcases from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada. Fiercely independent, Michael has been playing since the age of seven, and always knew that music was his calling. Growing up in the rural, blue-collar community of Chatham, Ontario fueled his wanderlust, but like many artists, there were several turns in the road before he made the decision to commit to music full time. Some of his early vocations included picking tobacco and working in a corn mill, eventually leading him to pursue a degree in Hospitality and Business Development. After a few years living in Ireland and working with several prestigious hotels, he moved to the Cayman Islands, where his band Smooth Bill had the opportunity to open for top Canadian band The Tragically Hip in front of several thousand people. He has since played to many large audience, including the Twilight Concert Series in Del Mar, CA, andis just as comfortable playing on a big stage as his is to an intimate listening room audience. In 2011, he released his first solo EP with producer Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple, Incubus, Hoobastank), titled Radio. Local terrestrial and internet radio began to pick up on the title track, leading to a three-month tour of California that soon segued into a permanent move. 2015 saw the release of a new self-titled EP, and he has been a featured performer in Renaissance Hotels’ RLife concert series, a program that in the past has hosted artists like Bruno Mars and Robin Thicke. Drawing comparisons to James Taylor, Jackson Brown and John Mayer, Michael’s instant appeal and warm stage presence invites the audience to come closer and listen to what he has to say.

John Lowery started his career as a singer-songwriter in Portland, Oregon back in the mid-nineties with his first band Hatful of Rain which he formed with Dramarama guitarist Mark Englert. At one time their drummer was Courtney Taylor-Taylor from The Dandy Warhols. His first album with Hatful of Rain got national distribution and radio play and received stellar reviews. Since 2000 John has released all solo albums - Fancy Car, I'm Going Home, Epiphany, and most recently Lucky Guy which along with Epiphany is available for sale on I-Tunes, Amazon, and CD Baby. John has played with some pretty big players over the years including Jeff Linsky (Jazz Virtuoso), John Smith (Grammy Award Producer from Nu Shooz), and Tony Snow (Drummer from Dramarama) to name a few. He currently resides in Poway, CA, and continues to play shows as a solo artist in his own backyard in San Diego, LA, and Orange County frequently. John has also played shows internationally in Australia and most recently in Portugal. John plays mainly acoustic melodies with his nylon & steel string guitars along with some backbeat percussion with a laid-back feel. Some of his songs sound folksy and some sound rockish, with a little bit of blues & country from time to time. He performs regularly, not only performs songs that he has written, but also songs from such artists as Tom Petty, The Eagles, Rob Thomas, Jimmy Buffet, Kenny Chesney, Rod Stewart, The Beatles, Jack Johnson, Garth Brooks, and many more. John is also available as a duo with another guitar player or keyboard player and has a 4 piece band that can accompany him as well.
