“It’s always been the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do . . . I feel like I didn’t choose being a musician because it’s just always been this way.
“Yeah, I play for free. I just get paid well to travel.”
It was tragic news to hear of the untimely passing of Jason Moore this past November (2021). With the consent of Mr. Moore’s family, we’ve decided to release this brief interview we were able to conduct with him in the fall of 2021. We hope that this honors the spirit, legacy, and character of one of the most iconic upright bass players in American Music.
“I never really set out to play music for a living. I basically just fell into it. It’s been 27 years now so I must have made the right choice.”
“Music helped keep things held together through my childhood and adolescence. It was very much an escape.”
“My dad eventually took me to my first bluegrass festival just before I turned 17. It was the Festival of the Bluegrass in Lexington, KY. The lineup consisted of JD Crowe and the New South (the Wildfire formation), The Soggy Bottom Boys, The Dillards, The Lewis Family, and for me at that time most importantly the Seldom Scene.”
The story behind this video's resurfacing is amazing. Watch until the end.
