We played the majority of our 2012 shows in our new stripped-down acoustic format and felt it was high-time we released something with this lineup.  So I took the boys to Bonedaddy Studios in Los Angeles and we laid down 5 of my favorite tracks.  We're calling it "The Dizzy Sessions", and I hope you love it as much as I do!  Featuring Bruce Lawrence on acoustic guitar and bass, and Will Phillips on his amazing hybrid percussion kit.

Ever wonder what the story is behind a song? We are excited to present a new series of 'StoryTeller'-style videos of Jared ... up-close, unplugged, and unscripted!

Veteran producer/editor Tonya Stumphauzer and director Stephen Readmond recently spent a day with Jared in the studio and asked him to give a little insight behind some of the songs on his new record.

Jared talks about the making of the new album and the songwriting process, giving a unique glimpse into the stories and passion behind his songs.

Watch the videos here.

Jared's latest CD, Several Shots at Redemption, is now available exclusively through his website! Visit the Albums page for details and purchasing information.

IndieMusicStop.com describes the new album as "powerful, passionate, crisp" and says it "will appeal to fans of artists like Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Coldplay."

CD Release Party, April 9th @ Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach

It was standing-room only for Jared Young's album release party at Saint Rocke, one of L.A.’s hottest new music venues. Young's new album, Several Shots At Redemption, was released April 9th and his fans showed up in force for the debut at the Hermosa Beach club. "It was an amazing night," Young said, "and it was very special for me to celebrate with my hometown crowd."

Young opened the show with "It's Alright, It's Over", the first track on his new record, and he kept the high-energy crowd on their feet for the entire 90 minute set. Young had previously released a few sneak-peek songs from the new album on his website, so many of his fans were singing along to songs like "People R Strange", "Good Things, Bad People", and "Summer Rain". Young also played songs from his 2006 record So Many Miles, including the contagious "Dizzy and Unreliable" and "In This Day and Age".

One fan, Billy Mazzie, remarked about the show, “The show was great. Jared’s music can be summed up in one word -- infectious!”
