Jason Meadows
Music and rodeo have been Jason Meadows' two greatest passions since he was six years old, and while few entertainers have the talent to make a living both on stage and on horseback, Jason is on that short and noteworthy list. Fortunately for country fans, these days the music takes center stage. The combination gives this handsome Oklahoman the rugged authenticity that helped carry him from his family's farm in Calera to Nashville and from regional clubs to his impressive national debut with the CD 100% COWBOY. Along the way, he so impressed Reba McEntire that the Oklahoma superstar made it her business to help set him up in Nashville, and he turned both the audience and judges of the hit USA Network "Nashville Star" TV series into fans with his bigger-than-life persona and ownership of the center stage spotlight. That's not to say it was easy. The handsome Oklahoman had to draw on every bit of his background--the strength, the vision, the perseverance in the face of huge odds--to earn national acclaim. It's a testament to the depth of his talent and his drive that he's done just that. 100% COWBOY captures everything that makes Jason compelling both as a singer and as a person. Its debut single, "100% Cowboy," is the perfect calling card, a powerhouse of a song with an unblinking look at what it is to be a modern-day cowboy, something possible in a number of heroic professions. It's subject matter that comes naturally to a performer whose leisure-time pursuits involve fast horses and faster dirt bikes and who embodies the life the song embodies.
