Jason Turner strums the acoustic guitar in his lap as comfortably and casually as some stroke the ears of their best dog.
“Storytelling,” is the word he pulls out for his music, a prolific batch of songs that also fit under a broader Americana umbrella, gathering up alt-country leanings and touches of blues and rock.
“You can’t grow up around here without having all that in you,” says Turner, 31, a Jackson-born singer-songer who draws from the blues and gospel from his mom’s job at Malaco, country concerts neighbors took him to and 1990s grunge rock.
“I think that’s part of Mississippi, all the artists here. … Even if you’re looking at Wyatt Waters’ pictures, you can feel and see where you are. I think the songs are like from here, too.”
Songs draw on experiences and observations.
“I would say it’s music that’s just honest,” he says of the auto-bio bent.
What Turner considers his debut CD, the self-released 13 Years, pays homage to his band’s age - a ripe one considering “as much music as we’ve written,” he says. “It’s kind of like saying, ‘Finally.’ He doesn’t count a CD he put out at 17 (“my voice sounded like Stevie Nicks, it was so high”).
The CD release party is Friday at Hal & Mal’s. In addition to Turner (guitar/vocals), there’s Jay Wadsworth (pedal steel), Matt Newman (drums), Adam Perry (bass) and Charlie Townsend (guitar).
The Jason Turner Band got its start at the 1997 Jubilee!JAM, following a couple years of Turner’s acoustic playing around town.
When bandmates moved on, Turner relocated to Nashville in 2004.
