• Jason Boland- Stragglers/Squelch

October 9th, 2015 marks a milestone for Jason Boland & The Stragglers with the release of<br>their upcoming album, Squelch - the 10th addition to their catalogue since the band s inception<br>in 1998. As they approach nearly a million records sold through their independent<br>trademark, Proud Souls Entertainment, Jason has one main goal... Stay the course. After<br>eighteen years of touring all over the globe and playing more than 125 shows each year,<br>it s safe to say these guys are veterans of their trade and have the rare ability to remain<br>not only relevant, but also in high demand; no small feat in a cut-throat business that has<br>proven it can wash out even the biggest of acts in only a few, short years. Jason attributes<br>his success to his determination to remain steadfast and true to the country music of old,<br>avoiding the constant allure of what many consider watered down, cliche-driven songs that<br>seem to dominate mainstream country radio today. Squelch, referring to the knob on<br>wide-band radios that is used to keep the unwanted noise out, is exactly what this album<br>represents. Eleven tracks of steel and fiddle driven country songs for the country music<br>connoisseur.
