With the release of his debut CD, Jason Mercer's music has made its way across the local scene, leaving an unforgettable mark wherever it is played.
A refreshing brand of singer/songwriter, Jason has been booking shows anywhere and everywhere, grabbing the attention of promoters and event coordinators across Southwestern Ontario. Born in London, Ontario, Jason grew up in what was undeniably a musical environment. Taking direction from his father, a brass band conductor, Jason took an interest in music early in his childhood, learning to sing by listening to the passionate melody and harmonies that his mother sang in church. It was only later in life when he combined his passionate, melodic voice with the rhythm of the guitar that he found his sound. His first performance was a song written for his high school talent show, where he shocked friends and family with this unknown talent. Soon after, Jason began performing for whoever would hear him, using a local ice cream shop as his home base. When word spread about the young, talented musician, it wasnt long before he was being booked for private shows and showcases, gaining recognition and support from the London music community.
Jasons live show is an intimate experience with the audience. Whether he is singing one of his original songs or a cover of influential artists such as John Mayer and the Goo Goo Dolls, his bare and honest performance captures the listeners attention. A predominantly acoustic style, Jason matches emotional, thought-provoking lyrics with a smooth and melodic tune, while he strums steady and driving rhythms on the guitar. He believes that at the heart of each song should be a strong melody, good harmonies and good lyrics, and thats just what his first all-original, five-song project has accomplished.
In the meantime, Jason has been playing anywhere from charity fundraisers to opening for rock concerts, and is steadily gaining a fan-base in his hometown and surrounding area.
Having earned himself the 2006 London Music Award for Most Popular Singer/Songwriter, he is hoping to use this recognition to continue to expose his music to the public.

REVIEWS, ETC.
".an acoustic solo artist wowing London, Ontario fans with his phenomenal voice and John Mayer style. Definitely worth checking out."
-Faye Blais
"MERCER'S SOFT SOUND MIRRORS MAYER"
"If the likes of John Mayer and the Goo Goo Dolls can make crowds swoon with some sensitive acoustic balladry, then Jason Mercer is likely to become the Forest City's heartthrob troubadour. Having already won the 2006 London Music Award for most popular singer/songwriter and spreading his tenderly sung melodies through his debut album, Mercer is on a solid track to developing a loyal fanbase."
"Of course, he's counted among some of the best popular music acts at The University of Western Ontario; the school's Bands and Songwriter's Society included Mercer on its charity compilation disc Western Rock's, released earlier this year."
"The hometown favourite plays regularly, making stops at a variety of pubs, cafes, and bookstores to promote his coffeehouse-style folk pop."
