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.
