Episode Synopsis
Super excited to announce new guest, Jason Carst, to The Story!Jason Carst is an acoustic/loop song interpreter from Linglestown, PA who performs many unique shows per year in Pennsylvania and the northeast. He began his love of music at an early age listening to many genres of music rolling around in his parents’ car. He picked up the guitar in his high school years to learn some of his favorite songs and pick up girls. Jason began performing in college at house parties and local coffee shops. After graduation, music took a back seat to marriage and 2 beautiful children.One day, in 2013, Jason decided he was going to begin performing on a full-time basis in and around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He played his first paying gig on January 22nd, 2013 at the Harrisburg Elks Club. Today, (almost 10 years to the day), Jason has performed nearly 800 gigs, won a CPMA award for the “Best Solo Cover Act” of 2021, was the house musician for the ‘Pride OF The Susquehanna’ River Boat for 7 years, executed multiple open-mic events giving other musicians opportunities to showcase their talents, performed in multiple bands, and played at all the area hot-spots. During the pandemic, Jason live streamed from his home for nearly 45 days straight where he helped give his social media followers something to look forward to during those dark times.Jason was also a regular performing artist for the company “BRP Entertainment” located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. BRP would book Jason for corporate events, private events, music venues, and more. One day (in 2017), Jason inquired to the company about becoming a full-time team member as an Entertainment Buyer and Booking Agent. Jason began his career with BRP in January of 2018. Today, over 5 years later, Jason books for many of the area’s largest music venues, companies, private functions, and more.Jason continues to perform regularly, and you can find him in just about every nook and cranny that live entertainment is offered in the Central PA area. His repertoire has grown to knowing over 700 songs on the fly and improvising just about every one of them. He loves interacting with a crowd and every gig is unique and a blast to be a part of! If you haven’t hung out with Jason for a night, may I suggest doing so immediately!Check Jason and his projects here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasoncarstmusicFind The Story Podcast here: coryrosenproductions.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations
