Jason Hedrick

Bass and Tenor Vocals

 

Jason plays bass and sings tenor vocals for the Cadillac Stepbacks. Jason grew up playing classical and jazz music under the valuable influence of his parents who were long time music teachers in Albemarle, NC, where he grew up. After searching through a variety of musical opportunities in his life, Jason is happy to be back playing down home, North Carolina bluegrass. His influences these days mostly include many of the great jazz bass players and Mike Bub of Del McCoury Band fame. Jason is definitely not your basic root-five bluegrass bass player. His aggressive and authoritative style is heavily influence by the soulful playing of many of the players you've probably heard, but may have missed in your own music collection. Jason's bass is said to have been seen smoldering after a wild evening of slapping and fast playing. Jason's tenor vocals blend in the Stepbacks sound to add that "high lonesome" bluegrass sound that helps to bring people back for more.
