Keyboardist & lead singer Jason Kresge first taught himself to play piano by ear at age 3. He soon began weekly lessons that continued until age 11, when he opted out of formal study to focus on the more creative aspects of music.
This was followed by years of independent training, during which Jason developed an intense passion for songwriting, sound synthesis, and stage presence. He performed his original works live, contributed his talents to musical theatre projects, and taught many young pianists. From 2010 to 2012, Jason also played keys & harmonica for classic rock cover band Liquid Garden.
Jason’s varied influences include Keith Emerson, Chick Corea, Patrick Moraz, The Beatles, Peter Gabriel, Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Kevin Gilbert, Hiromi Uehara, Dave Brubeck, Adam Holzman, Billy Joel, Jimmy Smith, Tori Amos, Billy Preston, Page McConnell, Tony Banks, Jan Hammer, George Duke, Herbie Hancock, John Medeski, Edgar Froese, Jon Lord, J.S. Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Fryderyk Chopin, Maurice Ravel, and Alexander Scriabin.
