About this Event
Jason Narducy is a Chicago musician. When he isn't touring with Bob Mould, Superchunk, or Sunny Day Real Estate, he writes and sings in Split Single. Jason has performed with Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices), The Pretenders, Liz Phair, Eddie Vedder, and many more.
Jason and his first band, Verböten, were featured in the Foo Fighter's HBO series Sonic Highways and in Dave Grohl's NYT best selling book, Storyteller. Playwright Brett Neveu wrote a musical about Verböten (featuring music by Jason) that opened in Chicago in January 2020. Verböten the musical garnered rave reviews and sold out performances and is currently being re-worked for a film adaptation. The actual band Verböten reunited for this year’s Riot Fest in Chicago and released a new album.
Initially started as a fun celebration, Jason performed songs by R.E.M. with actor/musician Michael Shannon at Metro in Chicago but the performance garnered so much attention that they took the show on the road. When they played in Athens, GA in February 2024, all four original members of R.E.M. attended and joined them on stage.
Over the years, Jason sang the national anthem at a Chicago Bulls game, sang “Surrender” with Cheap Trick, and even sang a duet on a Blue Note Records album by jazz artist Patricia Barber.
Jason Narducy has written and performed in comedy shorts such as The Sexiest Elbows in Rock (3 episodes all found on YouTube). The episodes feature Fred Armisen, Margaret Cho, Frank Black, Sharon Van Etten, Tim Meadows, and Cynthia Plaster Caster, among others.
