Original acoustic songs deeply rooted in Kansas country, Mississippi blues, and urban folk--"tender, poignant, melancholy, and even humorous."
Bio / Background
"Fickel's songs straddle the line between blues storytelling and crafty country picking. His songs are tender, poignant, occasionally melancholy, and even humorous....[His] voice is a mellifluous instrument, lilting, and clear." - The Herald-Times, (Bloomington, Ind.)
Jason Fickel was born in Kansas and raised in western Colorado, steeped in the wide-open west: cowboys, rodeos, and country-and-western music. As he picked up the guitar and began singing, the first songs he learned were old-time country favorites.
Bitten by the blues as a teenager, he headed south to Mississippi where he apprenticed himself to bluesman James "Son" Thomas, learning the blues trade from the master, traveling with him to performances throughout the South. Soon he was playing professionally, opening shows for the Subdudes and John Hammond, with a mix of blues and original songs. Next Fickel headed north, first to Rhode Island, where he played coffeehouses and biker bars, and then on to Chicago.
