love their song list. They will be a key part of our entertainment mix for
year's to come."-

Jason started having imaginary
concerts in his bedroom at the age of seven after pleading with his
dad to take him to a Kiss Destroyer tour show at Madison Square
Garden. It was there that constant singing (or as my mom recalls:
screaming) and pounding on objects with sticks began. Born on
November 7, 1970 in Teaneck, New Jersey, Jason was constantly
surrounded by music participating in school chorus, musicals and
marching bands. Hey
no, "one time in band camp" stories here! Being captain of my drum
line kicked ass! Claim to fame: appeared on MTV's Remote Control
(lost in the first round). Oh and now the lead singer of Urban Trip!

age, Eddie was influenced most by Hall and Oats and Genesis. For 14
years, Ed has been playing the Jersey circuit in various original
and cover bands, most recently as a bass player and vocalist with

perfect compliment to Urban Trip’s diverse sound.

Mike
received an Associates Degree in classical guitar and composition
from County College of Morris in 1993. Since then he has made quite
a name for himself, both as a solo performer and as a member of
several successful Jersey club bands. He has always aspired to
being both versatile and progressive in his musical endeavors. With
Urban Trip, Mike feels that he has found a band that can adapt to
any crowd. This band can successfully execute songs from classic
70's & 80's rock to today's hottest songs and everything in-between.
Mike has finally found a vehicle to catapult himself and his band to
the very top of the industry, making Urban Trip a force to be
reckoned with on the Jersey club circuit.
