It’s not that Beethoven didn’t know what he was doing. He had his thing. It worked for him.

It’s just that Jason Farnham’s thing is not Beethoven’s thing. He can play classical music. It’s nice and all. Audiences are familiar with it. But there’s no originality when playing the classical standards. And Farnham has too much originality for it to not come out somewhere, whether in writing his own music, or at least putting a spin on existing compositions — like “Fur Crying Out Loud Elise, Let’s Dance!”...

Jason Farnham Music recently licensed 2 tracks for international TV broadcast use: "We Three Kings Tango" was licensed for use in Turkey, and "Bright-Eyed and Bushy-Tailed" was licensed in Thailand.

Jason will return to Alaska this summer with a concert in Seldovia on Saturday Aug. 16 and Homer on Sunday August 17.

Jason performed his "Get In The Mood for Christmas with Jason Farnham" concert this past month in Canton, Pemberville, and Grand Rapids, OH. Watch for upcoming 2014 shows!

I've recently started playing with Noelia, a Puerto Rican pop star. We just played a show in San Francisco on June 24th and then in Milan, Italy on June 29th for the Latin American Festival. It was my first time in Italy. Very cool, except that I don't speak Italian, and Spanish doesn't seem to work too well (at least for me!). Noelia is very cool to work with and I love the music- mostly Latin pop/rock with a few songs that have a salsa flare. I'm looking forward to playing more shows with her.
