Since the mid 1980s, Jason Plumb has contributed to the musical landscape of the
Plains, Canada and many other parts of the world. As lead singer, guitarist and
songwriter for Regina pop group, The Waltons, he received many awards. A Juno
Award for best new group, A SOCAN Award for the Song In the Meantime, the COCA
Award for best college band and a Certified Gold album for Lik My Trakter. The
British music magazine Q honored Waltons second album, Cocks Crow with 4/5 stars
and stated; "Songwriter Jason Plumb is not only one of Canada's best tunesmiths,
but possibly one of the World's". Waltons third and final album, Empire Hotel
was placed in the top 20 Canadian albums of 1998 by the Globe & Mail and
heralded as some of the Waltons best work by many critics at home and abroad.
Upon the return to his home in Saskatchewan, Jason began expanding his musical
horizons to include album production for other artists, scoring/music
supervision/editing for film and television as well as co-writing with other
songwriters. To date he has written songs with the likes of Ed Robertson
(Barenaked Ladies), John Mann and Geoffery Kelly (Spirit of the West), Bernie
Leadon (The Eagles, Burrito Brothers), Craig Northey and Stephen Drake (Odds)
Chris Thorsteinson, Dave Wasyliw (Doc Walker) to name a few. His first Solo
Album, Under and Over (2004) was Produced by longtime friend and Barenaked Lady,
Ed Robertson. Again, he received rave reviews and critical acclaim. A national
arena tour with pals, Barenaked Ladies followed. . His backing band, THE
WILLING, is born. Since the release of Under and Over, co - writing, album
production, mixing, and film and television scoring kept Jason busy. All the
while, he continued to prepare for his follow up, Beauty In This World. Inspired
by the tradition of songwriting and well produced albums of the 70's, and
striving to emulate the sounds he grew up on, he focuses on the production of
the new recordings. After tracking in 4 cities, Jason, along with The Willing,
Stew Kirkwood, Ian LeFeuvre, Maury Lafoy, and members of the Edmonton Symphony
Orchestra, create a thing of beauty.
