Jason Anderson is a musician from New Hampshire, USA, who also records as Wolf Colonel. He is currently signed with K Records.

In Autumn 2002, he went on a small UK club tour supporting Parva, the band that were later to become the Kaiser Chiefs.

Since dropping the Wolf Colonel pseudonym, Jason's solo work has begun to rely more on a combination of communal, campfire sing-alongs and Springsteen-esque classic rock. His live shows are known for their exuberance and life-affirmations, with most songs geared towards audience participation and forging deep friendships. Recently he has begun covering well-known pop songs in his sets as well (including Little Red Corvette, Ignition (Remix), and Basket Case, among others). He has also begun touring with a backing band, made up of members (Thomas Abrams, Timothy Showalter, and Gregory Gover) of Wilkes-Barre, PA's Strand Of Oaks. He frequently performs in small venues, such as homes and backyards, in addition to clubs and bars. Recent tourmates and collaborators include Kimya Dawson, Tiger Saw, Harry and the Potters, and Thanksgiving (aka Adrian Orange). He has amassed a small, very dedicated following, mostly from his high-energy and unpretentious live shows.

Jason has recently finished recording his follow-up to 2005's The Wreath, as well as a live album with his band (recorded at Boston, MA's Middle East club).
