St. Paul, VA – Blending soulful blues rock, New Orleans funk, and jazz fusion elements into a style all their own, The Jason Cale Band will perform Friday, Feb. 23rd at 7 p.m. at Lyric Theater in St. Paul in conjunction with Pro-Art’s W. Campbell Edmonds Concert Series. Full of heart and soul, their music is inspired by the fearless musical offerings of the late 60’s and early 70’s. The band hails from Virginia Beach, but has taken the show on the road, touring nationally and internationally. Tickets are $15 at the door. Children and students get in free!

Jason Cale is originally from the south, with roots ranging from New Orleans to Mobile, Alabama. He’s spent twenty years as a professional musician performing all over the world with the Army and Air Force Bands, and has collaborated and toured with artists including Grace Potter, Melina Leon, John Popper, Sandra Bernhard, Joe Bonamassa, and many others. After retiring from the military in 2019 and gaining a deeper understanding of music, the music industry, and business, he found unity with bandmates equally passionate about music.
