Jason Boesel February 2010 U.S. Tour: 02-19 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom

JASON BOESEL STEPS TO CENTER STAGE WITH "INCREDIBLE" (DAYTROTTER) TEAM LOVE DEBUT 'HUSTLER'S SON' IN JAN

Until recently, Jason Boesel sat behind the drum kit for artists like Rilo Kiley and Bright Eyes, but he's "ready to step out front" (Paste) in 2010 with his solo debut 'Hustler's Son,' set for Jan 12 release via Team Love. The album features top shelf guests like David Rawlings, Benmont Tench, Orenda Fink, and Boesel's Rilo Kiley bandmate Blake Sennett, among others. Critics are already responding:

"Incredible.... sinewy and warm harmony lines" - Daytrotter

"Jason Boesel is ready to step out front... 'Hustler's Son' is full of hushed and catchy country rock" - Paste Magazine

"For every Phil Collins and Don Henley, we occasionally get a Dave Grohl." - The Pitch: Kansas City

"A deft combination of grit and twang" - Direct Current Music

Earlier this month, Daytrotter recorded three unplugged versions of songs from 'Hustler's Son' (two of which are premieres) at Elliott Smith's old studio. Listen to these songs and read the story of the Daytrotter session here: http://bit.ly/JBoesel_Daytrotter
