Jason Farrar Explores with His Stick


Renowned bass player and vocalist Jason Farrar, accompanied by his bass stick joined Shirtlifter at JL Studios to lay down melodies for two songs on the up coming, "More Songs About Gods" album.

After graduating in classical piano and voice at the Royal Conservatory, Jason Farrar has gone on to unfailingly pound and caress his way through hundreds of gigs and rehearsals. His band credits include J. Englishman and Brother Love Canal, the Sattalites, Megan Morrison, Blues Element, and the Greg Wyard Band, but to name a few.
In 1993, Leslea Keurvorst and Farrar formed Kuru, a Toronto-based dark-wave band. Their classical training combined with their use of technology and the human voice gave them a unique and dark sound that was perfectly suited to the needs of the film. Their work has appeared in a number of films and they have produced several independent recording projects during their eight years together.
In spring 2004, Jason joined "Classic Albums Live" project as choirmaster. Classic Albums Live is fast becoming one of Toronto's biggest attractions. The Classic Albums Live group draws on the finest musicians from around the world to create a track-for-track, note-for-note experience duplicating an album from the annals of rock history.
Farrar performs regularly in Toronto, Canada and around the world.
