R/E Jason McIntyre:
Hailing from the backroads of central Pennsylvania, McIntyre’s roots run deep, but his music has taken him far and wide. From the mountains of Colorado to his current home in Austin, Texas, his songs carry the echoes of the places he’s been and the people he’s met along the way.

With four albums under his belt, McIntyre’s musical journey has been marked by collaboration and exploration. His debut album with The Rustlanders opened doors to touring opportunities with the likes of Ryan Bingham, Grace Potter, and Justin Townes Earle. Following the band’s disbandment, McIntyre embarked on a new chapter with longtime collaborator Junior Tutwiler, releasing the album “Miles” in 2014.

The creative partnership between McIntyre and Tutwiler gave birth to the project LEMONT, resulting in the collaborative albums “Bloomsday” (2017) and “Songs of Our Friends” (2020). Their music, enriched by contributions from friends across the country, showcases McIntyre’s ability to connect with fellow musicians and craft compelling narratives through song.

Currently based in Austin, McIntyre continues to write and perform alongside his friend and collaborator Michael O’Connor. Their creative synergy has produced a wealth of original compositions, with the duo embarking on a yearly pilgrimage that brings them back to their former home in Denver, Colorado.

In addition to his pursuits in songwriting and performance, McIntyre is deeply involved in music education and therapy. He teaches various instruments and songwriting at Swallow Hill Music in Denver, Colorado, and works with Challenge America on a music therapy program aimed at addressing and treating PTSD in military veterans. Through his music and his outreach efforts, McIntyre seeks to create connections and inspire healing in the lives of others.

Jason McIntyre is a singer-songwriter whose musical journey is as diverse and rich as the landscapes he traverses. Inspired by the timeless sounds of the great rock and roll bands of the 60s and 70s, the famed Texas Troubadours, and the legendary blues artists, McIntyre’s music resonates with a deep understanding of human complexities.

"Michael O’Connor is well-acknowledged as a great guitarist, but you should listen to his songs as well. He writes beautifully, authentically and comes by that gritty gravel road of a voice honestly. You’ll not find a forced moment in his work.”
- Rod Picott

"...part of the same Lone Star constellation as such Texas legends as Guy Clark, Kris Kristofferson, and the late Doug Sahm and Freddy Fender."
- Richard Skanse, on Michael's induction into the South Texas Music Walk of Fame

"O'Connor may be yet another hidden gem from Texas . . . soulful vocals. . . and his songwriting is top notch."
- Eli Petersen, Twangville

". . . a collection of songs that take unvarnished looks at not-so-beautiful losers who populate the margins: the has-beens, the never-will-bes. . . With the line, 'a bar tab as long as Billy Gibbons' beard', even losers win."
- Jim Beal Jr., San Antonio Express-News
