Jason Kain is the guitarist and sonic architect of The Tonalists, weaving between electric guitar and lap steel to conjure the swamp-blues atmosphere at the heart of the band’s sound. His playing channels the raw grit of Memphis soul and the smoky drawl of Southern blues with a distinctly Australian sensibility. Whether tracking a slow, simmering groove or cutting loose on a fiery lead, Jason’s guitar work is the thread that ties the band’s influences together into something entirely their own.
