“Sobriety Kills”, which came out in 2008 was one of the more over-looked albums from that year – simply, it’s awesome and you need to track it down.  Jason Karaban has a new album coming out on September 4th(details below) and below you can grab one of the tracks from it – and find out more about Karaban….

From a home studio in Los Angeles, CA, a songwriter crafts melodic, harmonious songs.   The music eventually makes its way to a handful of well-known musicians across the country.  Though the musicians do not know Jason Karaban, they will listen.  And, eventually, they find themselves in the studio working with the reclusive musician.

Jason Karaban isn’t new to the game. He began his career fronting the Philadelphia based indie rock bands Dragstrip Courage in 1997 and Grand in 2000.   A deal with Maverick Records emerged and then evaporated before the music was released and an artist once on the rise went into a dark period.  However, he never stopped writing music.  Karaban emerged as a solo artist with the release of Doomed to Make Choices, in 2006, co-produced with Mike Napolitano (Joseph Arthur) and then later with Sobriety Kills, co-produced by Barry Maguire (The Wallflowers) in 2009, as well and an EP called Mayfly in 2009.

On September 4^th Jason returns with Shift, his most realized work to date.  Shift is co-produced by Steven Jay (Jeff Lynne, Regina Spektor) and Shane Smith (Amos Lee, Los Lobos) and features the contributions of Glen Phillips, Sara Watkins, Ben Arnold, Scott Bricklin, Craig Elkins, Val McCallum, David Immergluck & Charlie Gillingham of Counting Crows, Garrison Starr, Pete Thomas & Davey Farragher of Elvis Costello’s Imposters and Lucy Schwartz,   Jason is planning to tour for the first time in his solo career in the fall.
