"
I am Jason Allen, a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, lyricist and producer from Somerset, U.K. I began playing drums at the age of eleven and have since written around 1,000 songs.
My live career began in 1986, playing drums with a bunch of my school friends in a local pub. A stream of bands followed through the next decade which saw me progress from drummer to lead singer, via guitar. Like Dave Grohl, or a hairier Phil Collins.
Following the demise of my main band
Chances R in 1994, I returned to drumming in other people's bands until I made the decision to foresake the stage in order to explore the studio side of music creation. My shell-shocked 'drummers ears' were needing a rest.
After a fruitful spell commercially engineering and producing regional bands, I embarked on a series of self-made albums as
Bluebottlegreen. I also reworked
ITV's West Match theme tune for the 1999-2000 season.
Since 2003, I have completed a string of self-produced solo
albums."
