This week we have the amazing Jason Richardson on the podcast. Jason joined his first touring band while he was still in high school. He started off with All Shall Perish, then joined Born Of Osiris, next Chelsea Grin - and most recently has joined All That Remains. Jason also has an insane solo career - make sure you check him out on youtube. What I really like about Jason is how good he is at guitar. The man has turned his job into a science. I respect that, and admire his work ethic. Thank you for your time and knowledge Jason, I have learned a lot from you and look forward to learning more.  

In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn:

• How Jason has consistently progressed his career
• The qualities required of a guitar tech from the musician's point of view
• How Jason became the new member of All That Remains
• The differences between being a solo artist and a member of a band
