JPR Live Session - Jared Alexander Masters

The Southern Oregon-based singer/songwriter and producer returns to JPR ahead of his new album "Show Me The Answer."

Jared Alexander Masters has been part of the regional music scene for more than a decade in several different projects including The Illies, and Verbs and Nouns, a duo featuring bassist Emily Turner, who plays bass in this line up as well.

  • Drums - Nick Kirby of Alice Di Micele and Force of Nature, and The Frankie Hernandez Band among others.
  • Bass - Emily Turner of Free Creatures, and Verbs & Nouns.
  • Keyboards - Noah Churchill or Homunculi.
  • Lead guitar - Keith "Rabbit" Townsend of Indubious, and The Illies.
