About this event
The second to last show of the year in The Wheelhouse is quickly arriving. Join us on December 4th for a night of music with local award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Harrod and special guest Bob Bedell.
Jason Harrod is an award-winning singer-songwriter known for generous melodies and poetic, image-rich lyrics. His songs are cinematic travelogues of belonging and alienation, filled with quirky narrative and emotional detail. Jason has been writing, recording, and performing for over 20 years -- firstly as one half of the duo Harrod and Funck, then later on his own.
In 2000, Jason was a finalist in MerleFest's Chris Austin Songwriting competition. The following year, he won first place in the North Carolina Songwriters Co-Op contest. In 2009. Jason was selected as a spotlight performer at the annual Healdsburg Guitar festival, sponsored by Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and in 2012 he received a Fulbright grant to teach songwriting to students in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Drawing from a wide variety of influences, Jason is hard to pin down stylistically. One critic from the Folk and Music Exchange put it this way, “Jason Harrod embodies a blend of blues and folk wrought with an extremely strong country spine. He possesses a strong voice and confident almost 50s-ish presence and sound, writing catchy melodies with a great band."
Jason recently returned to his native Durham, NC after many years in New York. He tours frequently throughout the US.
Bob Bedell is a singer-songwriter out of Pittsboro who has been writing and performing songs for decades. Most recently, Bob has turned his focus from his long-time folk rock band, Catbird Seat (Atlanta, Ga), to singer-songwriter. He writes with an eclectic style of Americana pulling from indie folk/rock, alt-country, and blues. His songwriting is ambitious and endearing, leaning on love, loss, understanding, renewal, and reaction for the clarity found in life. He feels very blessed to have found such a talented group of writers and performers in and around the Triangle and Triad area who are continually motivating and inspiring his songwriting.
