Biography

In 2015 Jason Myles Goss released his fifth album, This Town Is Only Going To Break Your Heart, a gutsy collection of songs that pulled together many of Jason's disparate influences. It's an album about the towns we love, the towns that shape who we are, and about kids growing up to have kids of their own. Over the years Jason has been lucky enough to share the stage with artists such as: Shovels & Rope, Anaïs Mitchell, Mandolin Orange, Stephen Kellogg, and Lori McKenna. Jason is currently writing songs for a follow up record due out next year.

Goss approaches his subjects with a sharp eye for detail, creating compelling characters who have been forced to come to grips with their baggage as they face the challenges of adulthood. This is most evident on the album's centerpiece, "Set Me Free," a breathless, five-minute portrait of blue-collar desperation that could have come straight from Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska.” - Popdose “Goss is a thinking person's songwriter. He puts out these thoughts in a voice that's fragile one moment and like a wounded bird falling from the sky the next.” - Valley Advocate
