BAND | OUTLAW SOUL BAND

Jason Pierce – Guitar/Vocals

Born and raised in Steamboat Springs CO, Jason was introduced to

music by his grandfather and uncle, who both inspired him to start playing and singing. Jason was hired for his first house gig when he was 17, and that started a lifetime of playing on stage.

Jason and Shawn Ketchum formed Dawghouse in the late 1990s. As once a signed regional rock band Dawghouse broke the bonds of bad record deals and continues playing still today. Jason and Dawghouse produced and recorded two studio albums of all original music which sold worldwide.

Jason is an accomplished singer, songwriter, guitar and bass player, sound engineer, and music producer.

Carrie Stewart – Violin/Piano/Vocals

Raised in Butte MT, Carrie was singing in her crib before she could talk (direct quote from her mama), and it turned into a lifetime of playing electric violin and piano.

Winning 8 championships competing in fiddle contests in the northwestern US, Carrie also placed in the top 5 in many regional and international contests and placed 6th in the Ladies division at the National Old-Time Fiddlers Contest.

Carrie toured 14 western states in 6 months with the Montana Repertory Theatre, playing violin with a 5-piece band for the musical play Cowboy, based on the famous painter Charlie Russell's life.

Carrie played and sang with numerous country and rock bands. Carrie has been with Dawghouse for over two decades, a once signed rock band that produced and recorded two albums of original music and working on a third.

AL VALVERDE - BASS/VOCALS

Born and raised in Corpus Christi TX, Al was drawn to music early on, playing first chair trumpet from 5th grade through

his high school senior year.

Being multi-talented, Al started playing guitar at age 15, performing in a number of popular garage bands. Being a product of the ‘60s, Al’s music was first influenced by the Beatles, Ted Nugent, and Donovan, with other influences being from top southern and hard rock bands.

Al was coaxed into playing bass for the Corpus Christi based rock band Full Proof in 1977. Competing in the Muscular Dystrophy Top Rock Search, they received a standing ovation and encore which led them to bookings at the number one hot spot in Corpus Christi.

Joining the United States Air Force in 1978, Al put aside music to serve his country (14 years total), eventually being stationed at Malstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls MT. Never losing his love for rock music, Al felt a natural twang in his voice and was drawn to trying out the country music scene. He became the bass player for five years with Vicki Jean & Long Live Country, opening for and sharing the stage with Colin Raye and many other top country acts. Moving to Helena MT in 1995, Al joined the local music scene leading him to be one of the most sought-after bass players by several local and regional bands.
