‘That’s Why We’re Here’ was born in the car on the way home from the airport after live gigs, when Jason was chatting with Adam Brand about why they toured and played shows across the country. “We were talking about what the point of getting out there and playing shows was. It’s all about taking people out of the world that they arrive from and bringing them into the moment they are in now and getting them into that show right at the time”, Jason states.
Combined with his warm, passionate vocal tone likened to John Mayer and James Morrison, Jason McGregor is energetic versatile and a much sought-after talent whose soulful performances have captivated and moved both local and international audiences over the past 16 years.
A national finger style guitar champion and endorsee for Fenech guitars, he has toured and performed with such notable performers as country star Adam Brand, The Voice’s Luke Kennedy and Naomi Price, and Australian Idol Finalist Paulini.
Winner of ‘The People’s Choice Award 2016’ at the Gold Coast Music Awards, Jason’s other accolades include winning in three categories for the Australian Songwriter Awards, and taking home a QMusic Award with Gold Coast local legends group, The Lamplights.
Leading as one of Australia’s most sought-after talents, Jason is a very engaging performer whose guitar magic leaves audiences spellbound wherever he plays as Tommy Emmanuel himself enthuses. “I am very impressed with Jason as a player and a person,” says Tommy.
“One of the great joys in music is hearing young players who can blow your socks off with technical skill, attitude and enthusiasm. One such guitarist is Jason McGregor.” (Australian Guitar Magazine).
