Details:
Jason Coley Byrd was born April 17, 1987 to a real estate broker father and telecommunications manager mother. He was raised in the sleepy little community of Cedar Grove, outside the bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia.
Jasonâs passion for singing came at an early age, performing his first solo in the fifth grade and many times at his church. He was encouraged by many to perform at special events and various venues in the Atlanta area. Starting out at the karaoke joints, Jason charmed the ladies with his looks and the critics with his voice. This set the pace to Jasonâs recognized talent. His high school voice coach, Don Johnson also encouraged Jason to set new goals for his musical talents, In February, 2005 Jason received final round positioning and encouraging support from the judges and producers in the Nashville Music Network singing competition held in Tampa, Florida. With great support from his family and close friends, Jason cut his first demo âFirst Flightâ. Produced and engineered by Jim Boling Productions, this demo featured six heart touching original songs written by Nashville songwriters Ronnie Godfrey and Kim Morrison. His outstanding cast of musicians included finger- picking legend Johnny Carlton, extraordinary native Atlanta guitarists, Tommy Strain, and Randy Smith, whose fiddle work glistens with the essence of Nashvilleâs finestâ¦.past and present!
Jason graduated from Landmark Christian High School in 2005. Following his first year at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural Collage in Tifton, Georgia, where he studied Wildlife Management, Jason returned home to perform at Six Flags Over Georgiaâs Crystal Pistol Theatre. He tirelessly performed in over 225 shows in the âHonky Tonk Saturday Night Showâ where his audience regarded him as a real crowd pleaser. Loving the crowds and performing country songs, Jason then made a tough decision to move his focus totally to his music. He turned down a music scholarship at LaGrange College, packed up his belongings in Tifton and chose not to return to college.
Since then, Jasonâs days have been filled with a different sort of college; receiving vocal instructions from renowned vocal coach Jan Smith and honing his guitar skills with Peter Vogl in Atlanta, Georgia.
As part of âpaying his duesâ Jason has performed at several VFW Clubs around Atlanta, locals pubsâCity Limits and The Corner Café in Newnan, GA, a regular at Brookshireâs (A Little Taste of Nashville) in Douglasville, GA, one of the favorites at Spiro'sâ in Carrolton, GA, Castaways in Austell, GA, Three Bears Café in Marietta, GA (The Atlanta Opry) and worked with The Johnny Carlton Band , The Dave Gosdin Band and Haywire. He has performed acoustical sets at various collegesâValdosta State, ABAC, Georgia Tech, West Georgia, to name a few. During CRS 2007 week in Nashville, Jason completed a three day performance at Tootsieâs, The Legends Café and The Nashville Palace. Jason returned to Nashville in June to participate in the 2007 CMT Fan Fare where he signed autographs and met his waiting fans. Also during that week Jason shook up the crowds at the NewCountryStar.com VIP Party where he was viewed by various Music Row promoters, managers, songwriters, and publishers.
Jason continued his dues paying performances this past spring and summer at Six Flags Over Georgia, again, at the Crystal Pistolâs âDays Go Byâ, as well as booking acoustical and band gigs all over the southeast including a five month part- time tenure at Cowboyâs ( Kennesaw, GA). He made time for a personal benefit event for the children at Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta as well as singing the National Anthem at both the Falconâs home opener and a Braves game. While at Ted Turner Stadium, he brought tears to the eyes of attending baseball fans while singing âGod Bless America â during the 7th inning stretch. He was also given the opportunity of opening for Carolina Rain at the Six Flags Amphitheatre in September.
Ready to hit the road with his professional musicians; Jasonâs 5 piece band is currently booking gigs all around the Southeast to promote his newly released self titled CD âJason Coleyâ and of course playing those covers that everyone knows and loves!
