Jason Ferris

jason ferris - all i saidAll I Said

Recorded and released for free in 2006, All I Said was my first – and so far only – solo CD. It’s not entirely true to call it a solo effort as a number of amazingly talented people helped make it happen.

My heartfelt thanks and eternal gratitude go to:

Dominic Bauers – It was Dominic’s blood sweat and tears at the mixing desk that made All I Said a reality. He donated countless hours to the project for which I’ll always be grateful. Aside from being a wiz with dials and sliders, he’s an absolute pleasure to work with.

Dan Wright – My long time collaborator and brother from a different mother. Dan inspired much of this music and wrote some of it too.  You can thank Dan for most of the music for Call It What You Will – one of my favourite songs. You’ll also hear some of his guitar playing in the Obi’s Ghost version of Sliders.

Eben McCrimmon – Another musical brother and positive life force. Eben helped write Sliders, sang with me on Listen To You and played bass on theObi’s Ghost version of Sliders. He’s a mean piano player too when you can convince him to play it.

Rob Van Raak – Easily the most talented drummer I’ve ever played with. You can hear him on the Obi’s Ghost version of Sliders

Melia Naughton – Half of Scarlett Affection, Melia and her sister Nerida were very inspirational to me in the months leading up to recording All I Said and certainly had an influence on the way I approached writing for the CD. Melia graciously agreed to to sing on the first few tracks and honestly those songs would not make any sense without her sweet voice in the mix. Be sure check out Melia’s amazing band, Scarlett Affection.

Rob Baker – Rob and I rocked many a stage in our angry, rock days playing in Shovel. Rob has always looked out for me though I always felt it was me who should play big brother. As always, Rob kicked in right when I needed him and made sure All I Said got mastered before being pressed.
