Jason Wickens with Mercedes Carroll

Fourth-Generation Montana artist Jason Wickens grew up on his family’s ranch outside of a small rural town in north-central Montana. At an early age he began playing guitar and developed a passion for music and specifically songwriting. But It wasn’t until his brother returned home from college at TCU (Texas Christian University) with a pile of obscure Texas country artists that he began to take songwriting seriously. Wickens delivers a fresh new sound with subtle overtones that are uniquely rooted in Montana. Although on first listen you could easily categorize the music as country, his self-titled nine-song record provides a diverse offering of folk, Americana and even moments of roots-rock.
