An Afternoon at the Park with Farmer Jason

Farmer Jason made an appearance at Barfield Crescent Park last month in support of his latest album, Nature Jams.

Kids of all ages packed the pavilion for the free show to do the Doggie Dance with the farmer with the guitar and catch other favorites like “A Guitar Pickin’ Chicken,” “Punk Rock Skunk” and “The Tractor Goes Chug Chug Chug”.

Farmer Jason, whose “identical twin brother” (himself), also fronts Jason and the Scorchers, creates music that teaches listeners about animals, agriculture and the environment.

The new album features tons of guest appearances from Hank Williams III, Tommy Ramone, Suzy Bogguss, Mike Mills from REM, Steve Gorman from the Black Crowes and many others, and The Daily Telegraph calls the record “real music and not cheesy children’s fare”.
