I just checked out Jason and Nolan's website (www.livesaymusic.com). I know better then to see 30 seconds of an edited for reality TV perfomance and form an opinion. Something about these guys caught my attention (in a good way). I knew there was more to them when what was shown. They are really amazing- much to classy for AGT. I am hooked on their music now and just bought some of their songs off iTunes. J and N if you read this don't even waste your time listening to the self proclaimed experts. Some of the posted comments are just plain stupid. It is usually the people who want to complain about something that actually take the time to do it. AGT did not work out for you (you should be happy about that- you don't need them) but your music will be heard by many someday. It is just too good not to be.

ps- I saw one of them had on a ring...is the other one by any chance single. They are both very handsome (in a Josh Groban type handsome:)

It is just plain idiocy that an extremely successful and established act like Jason & Nolan (electric violin twins) are kept from showing what they can really do at the expense of their image. A lot of crap is going around online about these guys, and it is apparent that people don't know what they are talking about.

In speaking with Jason & Nolan after one of their concerts, there are several factors that play into this series of unfortunate events for these twin brothers. First of all, they were invited to compete on "America's Got Talent." It was not even their idea. For their interviews, they were encouraged to get "audience symphathy" by claiming that they were geeks growing up, which turns out was the only segment of the interview that was used on the broadcast. All of the music that they really wanted to perform in order to showcase their skills couldn't "clear" just days before the performance according to the producers, leaving them with very little choices in their selection. They did not get the sound check that they needed as an electric violin performance with accompaniment demands detailed EQ and balance checks with onstage monitors, keeping them from hearing themselves properly. The final broadcast mix of their violins was overly compressed, dry, and shrill (not the fault of the twins, but the fault of the sound mixer). We all saw what happened as they were asked to start again in order to finish the song with singing, only to be buzzed viciously before they could sing. To top it off, they edited in fake audience booing.

As it turns out, Jason & Nolan are the real deal. They have performed all over the world to thousands of people and standing ovations, performing all kinds of music from classic rock to opera to original music. They have each previously won national violin competitions. They are the opening act for many celebrities such as Sheryl Crow, Smash Mouth, Huey Lewis...the list goes on. They have performed with the likes of Josh Groban and Peter Cetera. They are requested by many major corporations to be the headline entertainment. They have sold over 10,000 albums independently worldwide in less than 2 years. There is nothing laughable about what they do. It is unfortunate that a supposed contest would set up a real act to fail in such a disgusting manner.

Don't take my word for it. Check out their website:
