Jason Stewart
Instructs In: Ensembles in Bangor
Education: Majored in Performance at University of Maine at Augusta
Bands I’m In: In the past, I have played with Sidecar Radio, 6Gig, Nigel Hall, Conifer, and I have an extensive list of clients that I do drum tracks for out of my home studio.
Coolest Musical Experience: Probably the coolest thing I've done is having the distinct honor of playing in my hometown at the Cross Insurance Arena. I highly recommend playing in front of thousands of people in your hometown. It's as rewarding and exciting as it sounds.
Favorite Band When I was 13: When I was 13, my favorite band was Van Halen, which is slightly unusual because I'm a drummer. But Alex Van Halen is easily one of my top 5 influences.
Favorite MAMM Moment: It sounds kind of strange, but one of my favorite moments was our last practice before the COVID shutdown in March 2020. The kids played that day with the ferocity of a band that had no idea when they'd be able to play in the same room again. It was fierce, beautiful, and sad all at the same time. But I'll definitely never forget that day.
