Jason Narducy: podcast appearances and interviews

Jason V. Narducy is an American musician from Evanston, Illinois. He began his music career playing guitar and writing songs for the punk rock band Verböten, which is credited with inspiring Dave Grohl to pursue music. Narducy is featured in the HBO documentary Sonic Highways due to his connection with the band. After college, he formed an acoustic duo with cellist Alison Chesley called Jason & Alison, releasing the album Woodshed in 1994. The duo later expanded into the four-piece rock band Verbow, where Narducy served as lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for two albums, Chronicles and White Out, released on Epic Records. He also collaborated with jazz singer Patricia Barber on her Blue Note Records debut, Companion. Verbow went on hiatus in 2002, and Narducy formed Rockets Over Sweden, releasing an EP titled Penny Coliseum in 2004. He reunited with Verbow in 2010 for a sold-out concert celebrating the release of Live At Schubas. Since 2005, Narducy has toured with Bob Mould, contributing as bassist and backing vocalist on multiple albums. He has also performed with Superchunk, filling in for bassist Laura Ballance, as well as with Robert Pollard, Guided By Voices, Boston Spaceships, Eddie Vedder, Liz Phair, and The Pretenders. His solo project, Split Single, has released three albums: Fragmented World, Metal Frames, and Amplificado. In 2022, he announced touring with Sunny Day Real Estate, and in 2024, he toured with Michael Shannon performing R.E.M. songs.
