Punk accordionist and world troubadour Jason Webley is described by the Seattle Times as "one of Seattle's most talented musicians, a singer-songwriter with a rare gift for crafting timeless songs that approach Waits and Leonard Cohen territory." His relentless touring schedule has built him a cult following all over North America, Europe and Australia, as well as a bizarrely large and loyal following in Russia. Known for bellowing out apocalyptic dirges in a sandpaper baritone to the accompaniment of his squeezebox and the stomping of his feet,
Webley's true specialty is involving his audience in his music. Almost all of his concerts end with the entire crowd locked arm-in-arm, ecstatically singing at the tops of their lungs. Webley frequently tours with his friends the Dresden Dolls and has recently shared stages with Architecture in Helsinki, the Avett Brothers and Regina Spektor. He has just released his fifth full-length album, "The Cost of Living" on his own independent Eleven
Records label.

Jason will be joined by New York friends, Sxip Shirey and Corn Mo. Sxip Shirey is multi-instrumentalist, sound sculptor and circus composer as well as the guitarist in Luminescent Orchestrii. Corn Mo is a pianist, accordionist, songwriter and story teller. He has toured all over with folks such as Ben Folds and They Might Be Giants with his unbelievable voice and his inimitable style.
