So, yeah, we're
recording our brand new album with Miles
& Kevin over at Elevated Basement
studios here in Savannah. And I'm
thrilled to report that it sounds
not-too-forkin' bad! Actually, it
sounds great. Eight originals and three
covers. We'll post mp3s as soon as we
get 'em done. Miles is the most
pleasantly insane person I reckon I ever
met. If you have a band and want to
record, call Miles. You won't be
disappointed. More soon....
The Train Wrecks Rockabilly / Bluegrass / Folk Rock
By virtue of being born in Ft. Worth,
Texas, Jason Bible was immersed
early on in surroundings where
his 3rd generation Texas blood
mixed with the rich music scene
and began stirring his musical
curiosity. At the early age of
2, Jason was drawn to the family
record player. He would sit
beside it for hours and listen
to the 45 records from his Moms
collection, which included
albums by Buddy Holly, the
Beatles, Hank Williams, and Cat
Stevens. Shortly thereafter, he
picked up his first guitar (a
yellow plastic one with Mickey
Mouse on it) and began to play
and sing along to the Oakridge
Boys hit Elvira. At the age of
13, Jason began playing his
guitar and harmonica at local
talent shows and coffee shops in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
While playing regularly during
the next nine years, Jason also
graduated from the Dallas Sound
Lab, where he studied sound
engineering. In 1997, Jason
released an independent LP
entitled If You Look, Will You
See? , featuring acoustic-based
songs with percussion. In 2001,
Jason independently released his
first full-length album entitled
Embracing Imperfection. The
album is composed of 12 songs
telling autobiographical tales
and evoking an array of images
and emotions. Later that year,
Jason relocated to Savannah,
Georgia where he has continued
to play local venues across the
area. The move has inspired him
to discover a whole new outlook
on music and the art of
performing. Recently he has
advanced to opening for national
acts including Angie Aparo,
Driving and Crying and Edwin
McCain. Jason has written over
200 songs and continues to write
daily. His influences include
Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce
Springsteen, Ramblin Jack
Elliot, U2, Ben Harper,
Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, and
Johnny Cash. In the future,
Jason plans on expanding his fan
base throughout the southeast
U.S. After returning from
California, he said: Traveling
always inspires me to think and
write in new ways. Astonishing
landscapes and various settings
often serve as emotional
triggers to prompt me into
seeing the world in a different
light. I wrote Heal while
wandering through Joshua Tree
National Forrest with my sister.
Jasons currently recording a
record and performing with The
Train Wrecks. They are building
up steam and looking forward to
touring. "This fun-loving power
trio of guitar, bass and drums
began as a lark. (Rumor has it
the three members decided to
book a gig and see how many
cover songs they knew between
them that they could pull off
without any rehearsal
beforehand.) After receiving a
warm response, they put their
weight on it, and began adding
originals to their set and
playing out with a vengeance
sometimes doing 2 and 3 gigs in
one day at multiple locations.
The end result is that their
folksy brand of upbeat
roots-rock (led by
guitarist/songwriter Jason Bible
and drummer/songwriter Markus
Kuhlmann) and twangy alt.country
has been honed into something
surprisingly tight and
impressive. Along with bassist
Eric Dunn (all of the members
sing as well), theyve become a
favorite attraction at clubs,
bars and eateries throughout the
immediate area, and have earned
the title Hardest Gigging Band
In Town Award hands down."
SONGWRITER AWARD ARTICLE "A
staple for several years on the
acoustic cover scene, this
Texas-born guitarist and singer
still regularly plays background
hits (Dylan, Petty, Springsteen,
etc...) at any number of bars
and restaurants in the area
however, of late hes gained
notoriety as the frontman for
upstart roots-rock trio The
Train Wrecks. Its a brasher,
ballsier format that is allowing
him to showcase more of his
original material than ever
before."
