Lake Winnepesaukah

Country music sensation Jason Michael Carroll will perform at Lake Winnepesaukah’s Jukebox Junction Stage on Sunday, July 25, with shows at 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

The accomplishments are impressive enough for any new artist – a chart-topping debut album, three hit singles from that album, a Gold ringtone certification, and opening spots on some of country’s hottest tours. The key to Jason Michael Carroll’s success is evident in every note he sings – live or in the studio – and it lies in his authenticity. Whether it’s the empathy brought to bear on the tragedy of Alyssa Lies, the pure passion of Livin’ Our Love Song, or the youthful exuberance of I Can Sleep When I’m Dead, Carroll knows how to connect with fans. Together with hard work, undeniable talent, and good looks, that connection has launched one the country’s most impressive young careers.

It’s a career whose music aptly depicts Carroll as country’s Gen-Y family man, reflecting his generation’s transition from party to parenthood. As a husband and father of four, Carroll sings eloquently about both sides of the equation in songs that recognize the firm foundation that country roots and a sense of community provide in a fast-moving world. Carroll’s second album, Growing Up Is Getting Old, brings him even more hit songs. The first single, Where I’m From, is the tale of two men from seemingly opposite worlds who meet by chance and discover the similarities that lie beneath most of our differences. Jason Michael sees himself in songs like the title cut, Growing Up Is Getting Old, of which he says, “I don’t think there’s a truer statement out there right now, especially to a father of four who tries to get home as much as I do and who travels as much as I do.” His children are at the core of Carroll’s identity, and his relationship with them helped bring vocal passion to songs like the cathartic Hurry Home and the poignant Tears. Sorry Don’t Matter explores the cold reality of a betrayed relationship, while Barn Burner gives him the chance to revel in the joy of days when responsibility could be set aside one party at a time. Love’s complexities figure in Happened on a Saturday Night, a story with a rocking pace and a hairpin plotline. Let Me Go features a seemingly star-crossed pair of lovers while We Threw It All Away depicts two people who surprise everyone with a win. The laid-back anthem, That’s All I Know, sums up the easygoing, comfortably fitting philosophy that permeates the album.

At the beginning of his career, Carroll quickly learned how his music could truly affect lives, with fans regularly approaching him with stories of the impact that Alyssa Lies or Livin’ Our Love Song had on them. “My songs speak so much to so many people,” he says. “I really can’t take for granted what I’m doing, and I thank God every day that I have the chance to keep doing it.” But through it all, he remains a young man who has not lost touch with his roots, and it’s obvious he’s embraced the wisdom he received from a superstar touring partner. “I was hanging out with Brooks and Dunn on the road, and Ronnie Dunn said, ‘Jason, don’t let anything change you. Be who you are. That’s what got you here.’ It’s great advice.”
