A story about Jason Plumb
Since the mid 1980s, Jason Plumb has contributed to the musical landscape of the Plains, Canada and many other parts of the world.
As lead singer, guitarist and songwriter for Regina pop group, The Waltons, he received many awards. A Juno Award for best new group, A SOCAN Award for the Song In the Meantime, the COCA Award for best college band and a Certified Gold album for Lik My Trakter.
The British music magazine Q honored Waltons second album, Cocks Crow with 4/5 stars and stated; "Songwriter Jason Plumb is not only one of Canada's best tunesmiths, but possibly one of the World's".
Waltons third and final album, Empire Hotel was placed in the top 20 Canadian albums of 1998 by the Globe & Mail and heralded as some of the Waltons best work by many critics at home and abroad.
Upon the return to his home in Saskatchewan, Jason began expanding his musical horizons to include album production for other artists, scoring/music supervision/editing for film and television as well as co-writing with other songwriters.
To date he has written songs with the likes of Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies), John Mann and Geoffery Kelly (Spirit of the West), Bernie Leadon (The Eagles, Burrito Brothers), Craig Northey and Stephen Drake (Odds) Chris Thorsteinson, Dave Wasyliw (Doc Walker) to name a few.
His first Solo Album, Under and Over (2004) was Produced by longtime friend and Barenaked Lady, Ed Robertson. Again, he received rave reviews and critical acclaim. A national arena tour with pals, Barenaked Ladies followed. .
His backing band, THE WILLING, is born.
Since the release of Under and Over, co - writing, album production, mixing, and film and television scoring kept Jason busy. All the while, he continued to prepare for his follow up, Beauty In This World.
Inspired by the tradition of songwriting and well produced albums of the 70's, and striving to emulate the sounds he grew up on, he focuses on the production of the new recordings. After tracking in 4 cities, Jason, along with The Willing, Stew Kirkwood, Ian LeFeuvre, Maury Lafoy, and members of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, create a thing of beauty.
