Jason Cale Duo & Mercy Creek

About this event

Jason Cale grew up between New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama, soaking in the blues, funk, and soul that would shape his sound. He spent over two decades as a professional musician with the U.S. Army and Air Force Bands, performing around the world and sharing stages with Grace Potter, John Popper, Joe Bonamassa, and many others.

After retiring from the military in 2019, Jason put together the band and gave the music a name: swampfunk. Equal parts blues-rock grit, New Orleans groove, and jazz fusion, it's a sound built for the stage. Jason writes, sings, and plays guitar, but what drives him most is the chemistry between the players on any given night.

“Every show is different because the guys in this band listen to each other,” Jason says. “That's what makes it real.”
