I took this picture!I’ve been meaning to write about this guy since late August when I heard him perform live at a wedding in Estes Park Colorado. His name is Jason Wilder and he’s got this beautiful sultry voice that could rock your world if you listen to him live in a little smoky dive bar in the high country or could send you dreaming sweet dreams if he sang you softly to sleep.
He combines elements of the classic singer-songwriter sound with modern rock, pop, and folk. He has a wide range of vocal ability and I could see him singing songs across many genres. He is one with the guitar, comfortably unplugged and acoustically talented.
At the wedding reception I had a chance to sit and get acquainted with him. He comes across quite shy and is very humble about his talent. But I don’t have to be humble about his talent or the fact that he is oh so adorable…just look at that face…gotta love those dimples!
I think what becomes instantly obvious when you watch Jason perform is that his heart is in it. He sings from places deep within. He pours his own experience into a song even if it is a cover and not one of his own.
He has this “ just crawled out of bed” look going on, probably because he had actually just crawled out of bed, but it works for him. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to comb his hair or run my fingers through it! Ha ha
If you find yourself in Estes Park, I highly recommend checking out the music scene and tracking him down to see him live.
If you are a fan of Jason's please leave a comment on this blog post...Jason will see it...he's now a fan of my blog (ha ha, I know you are laughing your ass off now Jason).

When I have a little more free time I'll visit his myspace page and listen to his music. Right now I'm playing catch up. Music is such wonderful therapy, it can soothe and ease your soul. I love it when a singer sings from his heart, it's almost as if they're singing it to you and only you.
XOXO,

From the 20 pics I took of him at the wedding you'd think he was singing only to me...haha. He's so adorable!
We met Jason in Estes Park. He was playing at a night club. Both my husband and I really enjoyed his vocal talent.
We asked him to play at our wedding. He has an amazing voice and is a genuine person as well. We just loved having him there.
I am a fan of Jason, and a friend as well. I met him on Myspace, as there was something special about his avatar that captivated me at the time. (Maybe it was the dimples..??!!) Anyway, today, him & I confer, & he keeps me up-to-date musically. He actually was kind enough to send me his CD! I am captivated by his soothing voice and his excellent song writing abilities!I would give anything to be able to see him perform live one day, hopefully soon! Jason truly,& deservingly belongs on "The Music Charts!"
He intoxicates me with his music!

I have been following Jason on Myspace for over a year now and love to listen to the clips he post. Guess I should just buy the CD! I was very disappointed when I missed my chance to catch him locally over a year ago and am hoping he plays somewhere Glenwood to Aspen again soon! You are right Michelle, he is adorable with a wonderful, smooth voice. Michelle, you have excellent taste in music & talent!
mtnlife - you are way up there huh? So have you not heard him in person? Just on myspace? You have to make your way down the hill to experience him live...worth the drive! Call it a girls night out (I'm assuming you are a girl?) and grab your friends and head on down! I don't live near where he plays but if you ever come down I might be willing to meet you (and any other myspacers that live in Colorado) in Estes for a night of watching Jason. I actually make it to Estes several times a year with my kids for a day out, hiking, lunch, etc., but haven't experienced the nightlife yet.
