Jason LaPrade's uniquely clear, expressive style on dobro, guitar, and lapsteel has won admiration and praise from the “old guard” of Canadian folk music, as well as from many dynamic, up-and-coming artists. He is a sought-after session musician, performing on albums for the likes of award-winning instrumentalist Oliver Schroer, stellar singer-songwriter Rosemary Phelan, two time CCMA winners The Stellas, star-studded band The Great Atomic Power, and popular alt-country band The Jayne Waynes. He is now devoting some of his time to his love of songwriting and beginning to release his own original songs and instrumentals.
Jason resides in Toronto, Canada, where his sound company, Crystal Clear Sound, provides live sound services for many of the city's premiere music venues such as Hugh's Room, Acoustic Harvest, McMichael Gallery, Trinity St. Paul’s, Beth Tzedec Synagogue, and U of T’s Convocation Hall.
As a recording engineer and producer, Jason has earned the respect of artists from all over North America for his talent in capturing the essence of their musical performances, and helping their creative voices truly shine. Artists include Rosemary Phelan, Lucas Silveira, Tucker Finn, Jon Brooks, Shawna Caspi, Claire Lynch, Common Thread Community Chorus, Aviva Chernick (from Jaffa Road), and Murray Foster (Great Big Sea & Moxy Fruvous).
