Now based in his hometown of Durham, North Carolina, Jason Harrod released his first solo CD, Living in Skin, in 2000. As half of the duo of Harrod & Funck, Jason attracted Mark Heard's attention and production assistance before building a national following from the initial base the pair developed as street musicians in Boston. This new project showcases Jason's characteristic unique tenor voice, memorable songwriting and creative guitar work to haunting effect. Lovingly made, gently augmented by carefully chosen tasteful acoustic instrumentation, Living in Skin features a crisp often country inflected folksy sound that is a fine complement to Jason's thoughtful and tender lyrics.
