Nursing School Drop Out Sings Country Music!!!10 years ago Jason Marks stepped away from a budding music career as a back up singer/guitarist with the NC based band Far Too Jones (Disney/Mammoth records) and joined the U.S. Navy to train as a diver. Jason was released from military service due to a diving related injury and made his way back to Wilmington, NC. After trying to get settled into a new career in marketing Jason still found himself passionate about writing and performing music. 20th of June 2005 marked the release of Whiskey would be risky and MAY 9th 2008 saw the release of "SLOW-DOWN". Both CDs have been compared to the likes of Chris Isaac, Rascall Flatts,Keith Urban and Dwight Yoakam. These CD's mark a departure from the modern rock style of Far Too Jones and definitely display Jason’s love and appreciation for many styles of music. Jason Marks was born in Napa, California and grew up between southern California with his father and VA Beach where his mother currently resides. He came to Wilmington in 1989 for a movie audition(Teen age Mutant Ninja Turtles 2) and liked the town so much he returned 18 months later to attend UNCW. His music career began out of a necessity for work which at the time was hard to find, so he took out a small loan and bought a PA and guitar and started performing locally during college. As they say “the rest is history”. Jason currently has a promotion company and attorney shopping for a new record deal. "SLOW-DOWN" and “Whiskey would be risky" Are Available through iTunes and other digital sites, PAYPAL-on this site on the merchandise page, and at Live shows.
