American Songwriter Magazine Best New Music 2020

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Jason Herndon is a Roots Rock and Americana artist whose music is shaped by Southern memory, lived experience, and a deep respect for storytelling. Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and now living in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, his songs carry the weight of place—quiet truths, hard lessons, and moments of clarity earned over time.

Herndon’s earliest memories of music trace back to childhood, listening to older ’60s and ’70s country and rock records spinning on his grandparents’ tube hi-fi console. That early exposure shaped his ear long before he ever picked up a guitar. As he grew older, he began digging through the record collections of friends and family, slowly constructing his own sense of sound, guided more by feel and emotion than by any single genre or influence.

Rather than mirror a particular artist or era, Jason’s music is tied together by a clear thread of honesty. His songs move comfortably between tender, heart-wrenching ballads and raucous, guitar-driven rockers—always grounded in storytelling and emotional truth. He writes about resilience, heartbreak, gratitude, humor, and the quiet spaces in between, allowing the song to lead and the story to breathe.

Living in Muscle Shoals has sharpened that approach. It’s a place with a long musical memory and high standards—where groove, restraint, and authenticity matter more than volume or flash. That environment informs Jason’s work, reinforcing his belief that the best songs don’t announce themselves; they reveal something real.

Now writing and recording from Muscle Shoals, Jason Herndon continues to build a body of work rooted in Southern tradition and personal truth—music made to last, shaped by place, and meant to be felt.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Jason Herndon is a Roots Rock, Americana, Alternative and Country artist. Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, his first recollection of music was at an early age when he was exposed to 60's and 70's Country and Rock-N-Roll by way of his grandparents tube hi-fi console stereo/ turntable. Shortly after that, Herndon began raiding the record collections of his friends and family members where he started constructing his own style and taste for music. Herndon’s music doesn’t mirror any particular artists or styles, but there is a thread of influence that ties them all together. Jason’s live shows include original material that spans the distance from tender, heart-wrenching ballads to raucous, fretboard-burning rockers. Jason Herndon currently resides in Nashville where he writes songs, plays guitar, records and produces music.
