JASON MOON — PRESS KIT
Jason Moon is an award-winning singer-songwriter, author, keynote speaker, Iraq War veteran, PTSD educator, and founder of Warrior Songs. Based in Mesa, Arizona, he blends acoustic folk, Americana, lived experience, and humor into concerts and story-and-song programs about resilience, mental health, military service, homecoming, and healing through music.
Jason has released five albums of original music and produced three Warrior Songs Story to Song compilations. BIPOC Veterans: Warrior Songs Vol. 4 is currently in production. Women at War: Warrior Songs Vol. 2 received the 2019 Wisconsin Area Music Industry Album of the Year award.
Jason’s gravelly voice, direct lyrics, and flat-picking guitar style invite comparisons to John Prine, Jim Croce, and Greg Brown. His performances are candid, thoughtful, often funny, and grounded in the belief that honest stories can turn isolation into connection.
Available for paid concerts, house concerts, keynote presentations, workshops, veteran and mental-health events, nonprofit and educational programs, interviews, and appropriate music licensing for film, television, documentary, podcast, public media, and education.
Based in: Mesa, Arizona
Primary formats: solo acoustic concert; story-and-song program; keynote; workshop; interview
