Bio
Jason Andrew Griffith is an award-winning Calgary-based singer-songwriter whose alt-country sound blends folk, roots, and blues into heartfelt stories of family, nostalgia, and the human condition. Influenced by his upbringing on the Canadian Prairies, he crafts songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable, earning comparisons to acclaimed Alberta songwriters John Wort Hannam and Corb Lund.
A familiar face on the Calgary music scene since 2022, Jason has performed regularly at venues and events including the Canmore Folk Festival, King Eddy, and the Calgary Stampede. His engaging live shows can have audiences clapping and dancing along one moment and wiping away tears the next.
His 2024 debut EP Voice of Marie and his 2025 single Stay Another Day have received regular airplay on dozens of campus and community radio stations across Canada. Recent accolades include being a finalist in the 2025 Ranchman's Rising Star Best Song Contest and being honoured with the 2026 Rocky Mountain Listening Room Spotlight Artist Award, further establishing him as one of Alberta's emerging voices in roots music. His latest single Where I'll Stand will be released in October 2026.
