Press Quotes regarding Jason Adamo include:

“Jason has the makings of a national level recording artists” Grammy nominated producer John Custer

It’s good to hear a kid that can sing. In the endlessly expanding myspace universe of post-yourself-playing-your-older-brother’s-guitar/hear-me-sing-like-Mariah-Carey, it is good when a young artist makes you losen the grimace on your face and say, “Hey, there really are some people out there with authentic talent.” Thank you for that, Jason Adamo. Clearly his strongest asset, Adamo’s voice is what strikes you first. When he sings, there is a tenacity and depth in his voice that forces you to pay attention; it pulls you into the room with him and makes you want to sit and listen. It is soulful yet authentic. There is no pretense or attempts to sound like anyone else. Yes his voice reminds you of Otis Redding; yes you heart the influence of Joe Cocker; yes you can picture him singing with Ben Harper; but, to be sure, there is no pretending happening here. You hear him sing and you know…ahhhh, that is Jason Adamo. You like and you want to hear more of it.” Andrew Jed (TuneJar.com)

Adamo has a wide range, and he’s expressive, gliding between noted, lacing his warm tenor around the words gracefully.” Bryan Reed (Independent Weekly)
