ABOUT JASON MCINTYRE
Jason McIntyre is a singer-songwriter whose music blends the storytelling spirit of American roots with the grit of rock and blues. Inspired by the great bands of the 60s and 70s, the Texas troubadour tradition, and classic blues artists, his songs explore the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
Originally from central Pennsylvania, McIntyre’s journey has taken him across the country—from the mountains of Colorado to his current home in Austin, Texas—shaping a sound rooted in travel, reflection, and connection.
He first gained recognition with The Rustlanders, whose debut album led to touring opportunities alongside the likes of Ryan Bingham and Grace Potter. Since then, McIntyre has continued writing and recording, building a solo catalog that includes four albums: Miles (2014), Bloomsday (2017), and Songs of Our Friends (2020).
In March 2026, McIntyre released the single “LISTENING FOR A TRAIN,” featuring legendary Texas musician Lloyd Maines on pedal steel guitar. The track is the first release from an upcoming full-length album scheduled for September 2026.
In addition to performing and recording, McIntyre is dedicated to the healing power of music. He teaches songwriting and multiple instruments at Swallow Hill Music in Denver and works with Challenge America on music therapy programs supporting military veterans living with PTSD.
ABOUT DAN COLLINS
Dan Collins has been a fixture of the Central Pennsylvania music scene for years. He currently performs with Caledonia, Lowjack, and Dead Stars, while also producing and collaborating with a wide range of regional artists through his studio, Earwicker. Dan and Jason McIntyre have worked and performed together for over a decade in various groups including Lemont, Little Townes, and JMac’s Contraband, while creating three albums along the way — Miles (2014), Bloomsday(2016), and Songs of Our Friends (2020). The duo recently released the single “Listening for a Train” in preparation for another full-length album due out this fall.
A nationally award-winning fiddle player, Collins draws from Irish traditional music, classical training, and rock and roll energy to create a style that is both deeply rooted and distinctly his own. Whether performing intimate acoustic sets or high-energy live shows, his playing blends technical precision with raw emotional feel.
