Jason Boland’s reputation as a voraciously untamed songsmith and performer has preceded him over the years since emerging in 1999 at the age of 25. With over 50,000 combined units sold independently, and backed by a fierce band of the musically well endowed, Jason has been called everything from the surfacing king of alt-swing to an outlaw, and in some cases even a liability.

The band’s debut album release of Pearl Snaps in 1999 put them on the map of the working musician. Truck Stop Diaries released in 2001 landed them the rarefied #1 spot on the Texas Music chart with “Travelin Jones,” and the Gruene with Envy Album of the Year Award, an awards ceremony based solely on votes by the fans. Live and Loud at Billy Bob’s was their next release in 2002, winning them the Gruene with Envy Live Album of the Year as well as securing them a Top 20 spot with "Mexico or Crazy" before the single had even been released.
