Described by the Seattle Times as "one of Seattle's most talented
musicians," Jason Webley is known for his huge gravelly voice and a
battered porkpie hat that dances around his head as he stomps out the
beat. His relentless touring schedule and legendary live performances
have built him a loyal cult of followers across North America, Europe
and beyond (he is especially loved in Siberia.)
Bellowing out apocalyptic dirges in a sandpaper baritone, Webley's
specialty is involving his audience in his performances - most
concerts end with the entire crowd locked arm-in-arm, singing at the
top of their lungs. He has shared the stage with the Dresden Dolls,
the Avett Brothers, Devotchka and Regina Spektor, and has released
five solo albums and numerous collaborations on his own label, Eleven
Records.
Recently, Webley finished a world tour with Amanda Palmer of The
Dresden Dolls as one-half of the duo Evelyn Evelyn.
