Jason Ringenberg is the lead singer of a band called Jason and the Scorchers. He is also a songwriter.
This band had several minor hits, including "Golden Ball and Chain" and a blistering rock version of Bob Dylan's "Absolutley Sweet Marie."
Ringenberg was especially influential in the mid-1980s when the indie country/rock fusion movement was at its height. His music, and that of similar bands, served as the roots for the "alt country" genre that would arise in the 1990s.
He was born in Sheffield, Illinois and has resided in and around Nashville, Tennessee for many years.
