Jason Samel
In 2012 Samel produced his first album, “Occupy This Album,” which brought further awareness to the movement at a time when it seemed vacant from the public eye. This project won the Independent Music Award for Best Compilation.
Immediately following his first release, Samel began producing numerous other projects including Seeger Fest, the Hurricane Sandy Hip Hop Relief Concert at Brooklyn Bowl, David Amram’s 84th Birthday Concert, and the forthcoming release, ‘Buy This Fracking Album.’
In just four years, Samel has collaborated as a producer with a long list of incredible artists including Yoko Ono, Jane’s Addiction, Jackson Browne, Joan Baez, Michael Franti, Tom Morello, Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, Crosby and Nash, John Butler Trio, Indigo Girls, Blondie, Thievery Corporation, Warren Haynes, Third Eye Blind, Michael Moore, Amanda Palmer, Rusted Root, Ani DiFranco, Anti-Flag, Dar Williams, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Our Lady Peace, and his idol - the late, great Pete Seeger.
