Jared Mahone (Solo Performance)

Jared Mahone has patiently turned hometown open mic night glory into a humble career as a nationally touring independent musician. Jared’s raw, acoustic story songs are inspired by his upbringing on 90s soul, r&b, and hip-hop, combined with his passion for grinding out music with real instruments and talented friends. Despite regional recognition as the 2013 Verizon Indie Icon, national recognition from his appearance as musical guest on Katie Couric’s ABC daytime talk show, and being named Best Male Artist in the 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards, Jared dismisses fame chasing. Instead, he favors a troubadour-style trudge across the country meeting new supporters one handshake at a time.
