Jason Curtis and The Blacksheep

Jason Curtis and the Black Sheep are a rising pure-country and roots-rock band based in Asheville, North Carolina. Led by Louisiana native Jason Curtis, the band is celebrated for their authentic, classic sound, poignant songwriting, and high-energy honky-tonk. 

Originally from the Deep South and raised as a “preacher’s son,” Jason Curtis draws deep inspiration from his country, blues, and gospel roots. The band’s classic honky-tonk vibe—ranging from laid-back country shuffles to rocking, danceable numbers—is brought to life by an all-star lineup of musicians:

Jason Curtis: Lead vocals and guitar

Zach Smith: Bass (formerly of Town Mountain)

Claude Coleman Jr.: Drums (formerly of Ween)

Matt Daniels: Lead guitar and producer

Silas Hamilton: Pedal Steel (formerly of Town Mountain) 

The band’s highly anticipated album, Preacher’s Son, debuted recently, spawning a rabid fanbase dubbed the “Black Sheep Nation”. They are a frequent fixture in the Asheville music scene, regularly playing local venues like Highland Brewing Co., Jack of the Wood Pub, and Eda’s Hide-a-Way in Weaverville, 185 King Street…
