Jared Mahone

After a red-letter calendar year of winning Verizon's Indie Icon competition and making their television debut on Katie Couric in NYC, Jared Mahone shows no signs of slowing. He has been touring nationally for nearly a decade impressing audiences with a wide-range of talents that draw from Ohio garage soul, story-teller poets, pop melodies, and even classic hip hop. Brandishing transparent venerability, Jared's everyman persona connects in a deep and lasting way across what are often disconnected cultures within America. 

His latest album, Mixtape, was created as a crowd-focused, crowd-inspired song-a-week writing project where his music followers chose the track listing from the catalog of demo releases. The album was produced by Jerry DePizzo of multi-platinum band O.A.R., mixed by Grammy winner Mike Landolt (Maroon 5) and mastered by Grammy winner Brian Lucey (Black Keys, Dr. John, Beck) all from Jared's hometown of Columbus, Ohio. 

Jared is one of the most booked performers in the college market with 500+ shows across the country in the last 4 years. Alone or with his band, Jared will be touring for the rest of his life, expanding his hometown crowd from Columbus, Ohio to the furthest reaches his music.
