Jason and co-songwriter Thomas Gunn, one of central Virginia's most accomplished guitarists, share the songwriting with the ease of two people who've been finishing each other's musical sentences for years. Maryline Meyer-Pollock adds a third voice that pushes every arrangement into full three-part harmony, and brings a distinctly French cultural identity that stretches the band's repertoire into territory no one else in the region is touching. Nathan West, a founding member and the band's rhythmic engine, plays drums like a force of nature the rest of the band has simply learned to ride. And Randy Mendicino, who literally pulled over on the side of the road in 2016 when he heard The Pollocks on the radio, has held down the low end since 2017 with the quiet authority of someone who was always supposed to be there.

Five people. Decades of experience. One very good night.
