Some   pictures from this year's Balloonfest and a bunch from   last year's Henley Park show have also been added.   PLUS, be sure to check out the shows section for   updated info on the Clinton Arts & Music Festival and   details on the upcoming show in Utica, New York!  .....................................................................................   06/22/08   Welcome to the new jasonbeanonline.com! We have been   away for quite some time now but I assure you it was not   for nothing. We are back with not only this new website   but with a new album as well! My new 11-track album is   called "What It Seems" and is available now. It features   not only myself, Chris and Paul, but also my friend Josh   Grosvent on guitar. The album was recorded at Wayne   Manor Recording by Josh Coy who also played bass. We   could not be happier with the results and I hope you feel   the same way too. So check it out, enjoy, and stay tuned   for more news and show updates!  .....................................................................................   02/15/07   I think anybody who lives in New York will agree with me   when I say "dear winter, we're sorry for what we did, now   leave us alone." Chris and I just walked back from Paul's   and we are trying very hard to thaw out. See, we had to   bring Paul the recording of our live radio broadcast from   last Sunday at the Redhouse before he (Paul) flies off to   Florida. Yup, miles away from this ice chest. We're   posting all of the live tracks in the media section for your   enjoyment so check it out everybody, and stay warm!  .....................................................................................   12/03/06   Woah! Where have I been? I know I know. After a brief   internet hiatus, I'm back. Let me first say that I hope   everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their   families. What was I thankful for? My family and friends.   Law & Order. Dark chocolate and love. That about sums   that up. But I know what you're thinking, when can we   see you again? Fear not, although I am taking it easy for   the holiday season, I will be back out there starting with   the new year and you can expect a lot of good things   coming up Including a lot of new music and maybe some   special events. What kind of events you ask? I'm not   going to tell you. I guess you'll just have to keep coming   back and checking for yourselves. Won't you.  .....................................................................................   09/06/06   Fall is almost here, who else is excited? Anybody who   knows me knows that I am not summer person so I'm   looking forward to the 3 weeks of Fall before the snow   flies. Anyway, down to business. It's been a while   since my last update, we had some great shows since   then. First was the Henley Park show in Phoenix. It   rained, but we played anyway and because the audience   was so great they stuck it out. We appreciate that very   much so thank you all so much! Next we were happy to   play in the First Annual Clinton Arts & Music   Festival for the Red Cross. We had a really fun set and   I'll be headed back to Melodic Revolution in Clinton   later this month, details in the shows section. Pictures   of both of these shows are now available in the   media section. I also had a chance to play an acoustic   set out at Starbucks in Liverpool. That was great and it   was a long set so I got to play a lot of material that I   either usually don't get a chance to or that people   haven't heard yet. A Bunch of people came out and it   was fun joking around and singing for them. So yeah,   keep checking back. September is panning out to be a   pretty busy month as we head into my favorite time of   year, so I'll hopefully be adding some Rochester and   New York City shows soon. Bye everybody.  .....................................................................................   08/03/06   Hey everybody, just wanted to let you all know about   something new here at jasonbean.com. Starting in   August I will be posting a brand new acoustic track each   month in the media section. This month we're kicking it   off with a song called "Let Me Win". It is a very   special song for me and I hope you enjoy it as well.   Also, if I post a song as the acoustic song of the month,   that means that it is either going to be on, or   considered for later full band recordings, so feel free   to tell me what you think. I also want to take a moment   to talk to you all about the upcoming Henley Park show   in Phoenix, New York. I am very excited about this gig,   Phoenix being my hometown and all. I'm hoping   everybody comes out and gives a listen. It is a free   outdoor concert and the details are in the shows section.   So until we meet again, take care!  .....................................................................................   07/04/06   THIS JUST IN:      "When History Lets You Go" has been reviewed by Mark   Bialczak in the "STARS" section of The Post Standard.   Check it out in the media section under MUSIC.      Hey everybody, been a long time right? Last month was   kind of a slump as far as news or shows but July started   off with a bang Saturday night at The Shire for Salt Licks   II: Central New York Singer-Songwriter Showcase. It was   a success to say the least and everybody who came out   had something unique to share. I started off the night   followed by Laura Meyer, It's All Happening, Candice   Jarrett, Leif Olsen, Lindsey Smith, a guest appearence   by Andrew Joseph, and a special jam session featuring   showcase founders, Bill and Maggie. You can find all of   these guys on my MySpace page and they really are all   worth a listen. Coming up this weekend I have another   show at Mezzanotte in Syracuse with my full band.   Check out that line-up in the "Shows" section. We'll be   playing some songs off the new album as well as some   brand new material. Hope to see your smiling faces   there, later guys!  .....................................................................................   05/30/06   You can now purchase 'When History Lets You Go' in the   media section using paypal.  .....................................................................................   05/25/06   Bill and Maggie of CNY 'Salt Licks' have done it again!   Come on out to The Shire in Syracuse this July for their   second showcase! With six performances for $6.00 you   can't go wrong. For more information check out the   shows section. Also, we're working on getting some   pictures up from the show at Mezzanotte so keep an   eye out for those.  .....................................................................................   05/21/06   The show at Mezzanotte was a success! And for all of   you who couldn't make it, last night was the surprise CD   release show. Which means that after what seems like an   eternity, you can now pick up a copy of "When History   Lets You Go". Check back here for more locations to buy   them at but they will definitely be available directly   from me and here on the website. Thanks to everybody   who did come out, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!  .....................................................................................   05/03/06   Attention everybody! Come to Mezzanotte on May 20th   at 9pm for one great night of music. I will be opening up   for my brother's band The Pilot Lies as well as Merit and   Ted Eddison. It's an 18 and up show, five dollars at the   door. See you there! Right? I better.  .....................................................................................   04/24/06   New pictures! Taken at the show on Saturday, check   them out in the media section.  .....................................................................................   04/23/06   What a great time last night. The show at the Coffee   Pavilion was a blast and everybody came out which was   awesome. I was a little nervous about people taking to   the new music, since the last EP seemed to stick with   everybody the way it did, but I think it went well. If   you're ever sitting around on a saturday night with   nothing to do go check that place out, the website is   (www.coffeepavilion.com). They have original music   nights every other saturday as well as open mics all   week and a jazz band on fridays. Just a cool place to   hang out, I know I'm gonna head out there more.   I need to start looking for some May shows so keep   checking up on here for news on that and until we meet   again, take care everybody.  .....................................................................................   04/11/06   New shows added! Check them out.  .....................................................................................   04/05/06   So the show Monday night at the Redhouse was a lot of   fun. I got to see some very talented people play and   hopefully was able to add something to the mix. It was   a cool thing to be a part of and I appreciate both Doug and   the Redhouse having me out. Next on the agenda, as is   I'm sure on a lot of your minds, the album. As most of you   know recording has been wrapped for a while now. While   I'm still trying to get the money to press it and looking   at different options, I really hope to get it to you guys   soon. I'm workin on some summer shows right now and   I'll keep you updated on anything I get before then. That's   all for now, see ya around.  .....................................................................................   09/09/05   New layout!  .....................................................................................   07/29/05   The official date has been set for recording. August 20th.   Luckily, we found a day when Chris wasn't busy with his   band, The Pilot Lies, and Paul could swing a day from   his excellent family. It's going to be a blast. Chris is   finishing up the graphic layout for the album as well. Labor   of love, work continues.  .....................................................................................   06/23/05   Well the songs are prepared, ready to record. Looks like   you're gonna get eleven new tracks with a special guest   appearance by an old tune from the acoustic EP, Take   Your Time. We've also decided not to wait until the album   is out to start playing shows with the new material.   Anxious to get it out there and get some feedback. So as   we continue to rehearse and look for shows, be sure to   check back for updates.  .....................................................................................   04/25/05   So the new album is officially written and rehearsals have   begun with the band. My brother Chris will be playing   drums and my good friend Paul will be playing piano. The   songs sound excellent as the hard work continues. Keep   an eye out for more updates and possibly some shows.   Later!  .....................................................................................   03/15/05   JASON BEAN HITS INTERNET; INTERNET DOES NOT   FIGHT BACK.
