ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
 

Jason Barshinger is a singer/songwriter from Philadelphia, PA with 15+ years experience performing. Originally from York, PA, Barshinger has created his following through his own music and performances, as well as his work in highly respected Central PA bands such as Giver and Rhea Silvia.

Accomplishments include 6 awards between 2008 - 2010 at the Seven One Seven Music Awards with Rhea Silvia. He was then nominated from 2011 - 2013 for Best Male Vocals. Accolades include winning the York Revolution's 2010 Battle of the Bands at Sovereign Bank Stadium as a solo musician, beating out six bands.

The musician has performed on the same bill with acts such as Warrant, Pop Evil, Chris Hall (Singer of Stabbing Westward), Kingsfoil, The Underwater and many other notable national & regional acts.

Andrew George has been a staple in the York, PA music scene for years, playing with bands such as Friction of the Day and End of Days. George drives on the 70's funk sounds to fuel the groove in his playing, but he has a keen ability to adapt to many styles. Matching this skill on the bass with his ability to sing shows why he's the perfect fit to drive the rhythm section for The New September.

Zach Wilt has been connected to the drums since he was a kid. Growing up, he was in bands throughout high school and continued to harness his skills. Now, Wilt teaches drumline for a local high school while also conducting private lessons. Barshinger and Wilt grew up playing in bands together and have reconnected for this project years later. By incorporating a number of electronic pads in his kit, Wilt can create an unimaginable amount of different sounds. You'll hear the electronic tones from "In The Air Tonight" play out before you and you'll dance to the hard-hitting electronic beats that accompany dance tracks, which is all made possible by Wilt's exceptional ability behind the kit.

With thousands of shows performed throughout Central PA, Philly, MD, NJ, and VA between each of the members in their combined careers, the group has seen many stages. Here are a few:

The New September includes Jason Barshinger (lead vocals, guitar), Andy George (bass, vocals) and Zach Wilt (drums). This project has the capability to expand to five seasoned performers when called upon, giving the ability to accommodate for both larger and smaller venues. The act offers a fun atmosphere of classic to modern tunes over a large array of genres. From Pop to Rock, Country and all styles in between, The New September is the perfect band to keep your dance floor moving all night!

Solo Acoustic / Duo Performances: Jason Barshinger performs many shows during the year as a solo or duo act. The addition of looping guitar, bass and drum parts during solo shows leads to a high level of entertaining crowds for the Central PA musician. Incorporating an array of pedals gives Barshinger the ability to create a more intriguing solo performance. Upon request, the singer / guitarist can be joined with either a hand drummer, another guitarist or both.
