Jason Kertson has been drawn to music his whole life. He began learning to play the guitar at age 7 and mastering the instrument has been his passion ever since. He began performing in coffee houses and other venues when he was only 9.

His favorite artists from early on were Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, Alice in Chains, and The Sonics (one of Jason’s grandfathers is Rob Lind who is an original member of this iconic Seattle band).

In February, 2011, Ray William Johnson, a YouTube Icon, tweeted “everybody is looking for the next Justin Bieber. My money is on this kid” and he attached a link of a YouTube video that was recorded when Jason was 12. Jason had 250,000 YouTube views that week. This generated a lot of interest from people in the music business.

One of the people who expressed interest in working with Jason was Dave Mustaine of Megadeth. This has led to a mentoring relationship, and Jason recorded a demo in Dave’s studio (Vic’s Garage). Jason has also performed on multiple occasions with Dave’s daughter, Electra Mustaine.

In 2013, Jason auditioned for “The Voice” Season 5 and had a five minute on air segment. Though he didn’t move forward in the show, that exposure brought him thousands of loyal fans.

In December 2013, Duff McKagan of Guns n’ Roses contacted Jason and asked if he would play guitar in the Pink Slips, a band that his daughter Grace was forming. They performed together for the first time in Seattle on New Year’s Eve 2013 and recorded an EP in 2014.

As a guitarist, he is very diverse in his abilities; from very complex acoustic styles to technically challenging electric guitar solos. As a vocalist, his soulful voice has always defied his age. As a writer, his insightful lyrics are moving and relatable, and his music is powerful and melodic. He has hundreds of original songs to his credit.

We`ve been absolutely blessed to not only watch our good friend, Jace Kertson, grow as an individual, human, guitarist and vocalist over the years, but we`ve also been fortunate to have him join us onstage at more Layne Staley Tributes over the years than any other guest musician over the last 20+ years.

Big love <3 …

Originally from Virginia Beach, Jake Carden moved to Seattle in search of musical fulfillment. He’s since made his name as a next-level guitarist, bassist and vocalist for such bands as Ten Miles Wide, The Pimpsons and The Famished, as well as an in-demand touring and session musician. His solo act features loop jams and array of original songs guaranteed to have something in store for everyone.

Lucky for us, Jake is a great friend, and he blesses us with his presence and guitar prowess each year to thicken up that signature AiC sound. You`ll also notice that this man`s genuine passion for live music adds a noticeable pep to our stage presence.

See Mr. Carden and many more special guests this Saturday at Neptune Theatre as we honor Layne`s music, life and legacy yet again with fans from across the globe.

See you there. <3 …
