Jason Coleman, grandson of the legendary Nashville pianist Floyd Cramer, continues his family’s tradition in this nostalgic and entertaining tribute during the Brownwood Area Live on Stage (BALOS) concert at Victory Life Church, 901 CC Woodson, on Tuesday, October 30th at 7:30 pm. BALOS has also sponsored a student outreach performance for this artist as part of their ongoing commitment to support arts education in Brownwood, Texas on Wednesday, October 31, 2012.
In addition to touring the “Legacy” show, Jason Coleman is an active recording musician and church music associate in Nashville, TN. He debuted on the Grand ‘Ol Opry at age 17. Coleman’s natural inclination to the piano was clear by the age of five. In addition to his formal training, Jason displayed an uncanny reflection of his grandfather’s stylings. Most famously he performed piano duets with Floyd on “Music City Tonight” hosted by Lorraine Crook and Crystal Gayle at the age of nine, and on “Nashville Now” hosted by Ralph Emery at four years of age. Most notably for Cramer, however, was his performance at the induction of his grandfather into the Country Music Hall of Fame with the Opry House Band.
