Jason Townsend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jason R. Townsend (born March 4, 1969) is an American artist and record producer best known for his work with music and video releases by Daniel Amos, The 77s, The Swirling Eddies and The Lost Dogs, through the record labels Stunt Records and Fools of the World.

In the late 1980s, Townsend designed stages and backdrops for musicals and conferences, including Youth Encounter, held each year in Springfield, Illinois at the Convention Center. Thousands of teenagers attended YE each year to see a number of speakers and musical guests, including Tony Campolo, and Bryan Duncan.

In 1996, Townsend with brother Eric Townsend started publishing the underground Giovanni Audiori Catalog, named in tribute of the late songwriter Mark Heard whom sometimes used the name Giovanni Audiori. The name of the catalog was later changed to the simpler Audiori's Catalog before finally coming to an end in 1999.

That same year, the Townsends began to work more closely with Stunt Records and, later, The 77s' Fools of the World label.

Townsend currently lives near St. Louis, Missouri.
