Jason Lyles is a rock solo artist currently based out of Chattanooga, TN. Originally from Chatsworth, GA, Jason's musical style is an upbeat mix of Southern and Alternative pop rock with an emphasis on rhythmic guitar and astounding vocals. His influences include a diverse range of bands and artists such as Matthew Sweet, Nuno Bettencourt, Better Than Ezra, The Black Crowes, Foo Fighters and the Freddy Jones Band.
Jason's songs are a diverse mix of rock styles. Coming from a wide range of influences, Jason has reined those styles into a unified pop rock sound ready to infect the world with its viral hooks, catchy riffs, and undeniable melodies. Topics of his songs cover many different emotions and situations. From deep themes such as overcoming child abuse (Ethereal), never giving in to defeat (Not This Time), and letting go of negativity (Set it Free) to light-hearted romps about traveling the country (Disappear), saying goodbye to old roommates (Move On), and "gravitating" to ex-girlfriends (Man in the Moon) Jason's songs will ring true and implant themselves in your brain like a kudzu patch that won't go away!
After performing in many regional bands, Jason released his first independent album Shades of Grey in 2003, and he performed at clubs, festivals, colleges and other venues in support of the album. His music has been heard on 96.5 The Mountain Unrestricted, 91.5 The WAWL, Rock 105, as well as various internet radio stations and podcasts.
Now with the release of his new EP Ethereal, Jason has come into his own as a solo artist and performer. Be sure to check the shows section to see where Jason is playing in support of the release. Also, be sure to join the friends and fans at myspace.com/jasonlylesmusic.

"...a masterly crafted blend of today's sound and yesterday's emotion, quite possibly the evolution of independent artists."
"...just a great all around sound."
"Ethereal is a big step forward from 2002's Shades of Grey. Jason's songs have become more distinctive, playful, and emotive. I can't help but be reminded of Steve Miller...who strings together simple riffs sprinkled with psychedelia and modest orchestration to make catchy, hook-filled tracks. Its the kind of record you can nod along to absent-mindedly without realizing you'll be humming the tunes to yourself a little while later."
"By far one of the more talented people we've had in the studio in quite a while."
"I really like the track 'Ethereal.' It's very Beatlesque."
"Of the three bands, The Jason Lyles Band had the most polished sound. When I first saw Jason Lyles with his curly locks and calm demeanor, I was afraid he was going to be yet another John Mayer Jr. However, The Jason Lyles Band is a pleasant mix of raw Southern rock and upbeat pop. ...And unlike John Mayer, Jason Lyles masters sincere and sensitive without being sappy."
"Ethereal is Jason's best songwriting to date."
"Jason plays guitar like Derek Trucks."
