Jael has written over 1300 songs now and had them recorded by a number of artists including his own band. Playing solo he plays guitar, mandolin or piano and the art behind his lyrics leaves you impressed. A strong sense of poetry has never been absent from his recordings even on the heavy metal, blues, jazz, country, experimental electronica, or children's projects that he has created. Truly a diverse writer, the ties he has had to Preflyte (gospel), Teaze (metal), Jay and the Rubber Band (kids) Jerry and the Jerks (punk), Don Sprik Band (blues), Hexatrix (electronica), Lorne James (country), The Skylight Records Praise Project (worship), and his own stage persona Jael (alt acoustic, folk-rock) have left a trail of undeniable evidence. Constantly re-inventing himself, Jael's work has been compared to Roxy Music (both Bryan Ferry & Brian Eno), Donovan, John Cougar Mellancamp, Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Cockburn, Jack Johnson, James Blunt, Mark Heard, Tonio K and countless others. Every reviewer seems to have a different opinion. Performing, he ranges from thoughful country ballads similar to Gordon Lightfoot to the unbridled joy of power rock in the style of the Who. It depends on which band he has with him that day. If you're discovering him for the first time, fasten your seatbelt. You're in for a ride.
He also, under different personas and non de plumes, draws paints and sculpts, writes books, choreographs dance, makes movies, and designs ingenious ways to fund it all. He maintains his internet sites himself with only occasional help when absolutely necessary.____________________________________________________

| May 7, 2007 |
| Jael is currently putting together three new groups. He is looking for members in Metro Detroit as well as members in Windsor ON. Canada and in his other hometown, the Orange County area of Southern California. He has been at work on a new album project and is getting ready to do some extensive local shows in all three areas in lieu of touring. Familiarity with his old music is a plus but not required. |
