Jason Lytle

Jason Lytle (born March 26, 1969) is an American musician best known for his work in the indie rock group Grandaddy.

A fan of music at an early age, he played drums as a child. Skateboarding, however, captured his interest and by his late teens he was a sponsored amateur.[1] While laid up with a career-ending ACL injury, he started to play music again, writing songs and eventually setting up a home studio. Grandaddy came together gradually, signed to V2 Records, put out albums, and toured the world.

Struggling with substance abuse problems, Lytle cleaned up at the expense of his relationship with the rest of the band, recording much of the band's final album, Just Like the Fambly Cat, on his own. In December 2005—six months prior to the release of The Fambly Cat—the band decided to break up; the reasons included elusive mainstream success (despite widespread critical acclaim) and lack of money. Early in 2006, Lytle moved to Montana from Modesto, California, where he had lived his whole life.

Mid-2006 saw Lytle briefly touring the U.S. in support of The Fambly Cat, playing new arrangements of Grandaddy songs as a duo with Rusty Miller of Jackpot. The tour was brokered as part of a deal to get V2 to agree to releasing a Grandaddy DVD that Lytle has in the works.

Lytle's debut solo album, Yours Truly, the Commuter, was released on May 19, 2009 on the ANTI- label.

On December 7th, 2009, Lytle independently released an EP of seven improvised piano recordings as an Xmas gift to fans through his website on bandcamp.com.

_{Gepubliceerd op: 2009-05-28}

Een week na het verschijnen van zijn soloplaat "Yours Truly, The Commuter" staat Jason Lytle op het podium van een goed gevuld Doornroosje. Aangevuld met een band die behalve uit gitarist / toetsenist Rusty Miller bestaat uit bassist Rob Murdock en drummer David Burtch (inderdaad het broertje van voormalig Grandaddy-drummer Aaron). Wat onwennig nog. Het is te zien dat de vi ... »

Jason Lytle - Yours Truly, The Commuter

_{Gepubliceerd op: 2009-05-26}

Label: Anti- "Yours Truly, The Commuter" is de titel van het 1e solo-album van voormalig Grandaddy songschrijver, gitarist en toetsenist Jason Lytle. De titel is niet de enige overeenkomst met de herkenbare thematiek van Grandaddy. Op de voor hem herkenbare, melancholieke, manier bezingt Lytle ook solo de rivaliteit tussen techniek en natuur, ... »
