Born and raised in Leeds, 30 miles north of Joe Cocker’s home town of Sheffield, Jason paid his musical dues in the ’80s in the same working men’s clubs and pubs that Joe sang in during the 1960s. He has worked as a singer/songwriter and guitarist ever since his school days, pausing only for a few years as a morning jock on Laguna Beach, CA’s local radio station.

Marten has personified the character of Elwood Blues and makes each and every night a fun, exciting, interactive and unique entertainment experience for the audience. He strives to emote a positive, high energy, heartfelt atmosphere, that sends audiences home with a smile on the their face and some love in their heart.
