Jason Scott & The High Heat Release New Track "Golden" Ahead of Album "American Grin"
Jason Scott & The High Heat have unveiled their latest track, "Golden" in February 2025, marking another milestone in their forthcoming album "American Grin," set to release on March 28, 2025. The Oklahoma-based band, led by frontman Jason Scott, has been making waves in the Americana and heartland roots-rock scene with their distinctive sound that blends storytelling lyrics with dynamic musical arrangements.
In addition to "Golden," the band has been teasing their upcoming album with other releases. Their single "Me & the Bottle (Hungover You)" has gained significant traction, reaching the Top 10 on the Texas Music Chart and amassing over 100,000 spins online. The band's evolving sound is evident in these new tracks, with a focus on creating more crowd-friendly, sing-along moments while maintaining their signature style.
The band's journey began with their debut album "Castle Rock" in 2022, which garnered critical acclaim and reached the Top 40 on the Americana chart. Their music, described as "too loud for folk and too textured for Red Dirt," draws inspiration from artists like Tom Petty and Jason Isbell, while carving out their own unique space in the genre.
Jason Scott's background adds a fascinating layer to the band's narrative. Raised in a Pentecostal household and formerly a youth and worship pastor, Scott's songwriting is infused with a storyteller's edge and a unique perspective on life and faith. This background, combined with the musical talents of bandmates Gabriel Mor (guitar), Ryan Magnani (bass), Taylor Johnson (guitar, keys), Garrison Brown (keys), and Alberto Roubert (drums), creates a rich tapestry of sound that resonates with audiences.
"American Grin" promises to showcase the band's growth since their debut. Recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios near the Rio Grande on a Motown console and using Stevie Ray Vaughan's old Esquire guitar, the album reflects the band's commitment to blending classic influences with contemporary sound. The tracklist includes 13 songs, featuring titles like "High Country," "Interstate of Mind," and "Bernadette," among others.
As they prepare for the album release, Jason Scott & The High Heat continue to build their reputation through live performances. They've played at renowned festivals such as Stagecoach and Born & Raised Fest, and have shared stages with acts like Eli Young Band and Band of Heathens. Their music has caught the attention of industry professionals, leading to a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music in early 2025.
With "American Grin," Jason Scott & The High Heat are poised to further cement their place in the Americana music scene, offering a sound that's rooted in tradition yet distinctly their own.
