Jason Grove has always loved music. He started on the piano as a child, and then worked his way up to the banjo, and then picked up the guitar. One of his first musical loves was Bluegrass music, but as he got older, he found himself attracted to the West coast sounds of Haggard, Owens and Yoakam. His other influences include Garth Brooks, Jimmy Buffett and James Taylor. Those influences can be heard in some of his original work. He still loves and writes traditional country music. For Jason, country isn’t just a way of life, it’s everything he is!
