Jason Shuman, Drums and Percussions Jason was born in Williamsport, PA. and started playing drums around the age of 5. He has played with bands off and on through his whole life and in many different places ranging from Colorado to Georgia and all over PA. About 3 years ago now Jason met John Peptis and formed the band "Just" they released an EP called "Wednsday Sessions". Review companies Loving it said that it was only a matter of time before they would be signed. "just" was a good starting point. But now in the band "peptis" Jason has more room for challenging him self with the music John Peptis writes. The music John Peptis writes Jason believes is music that everyone can relate to. Jason Bungo Rythm and Lead Guitar Jason has been playing guitar for 13 years now. His influences come from most of the 80's rock guitarist. To name a few Jason Becker, Vinne Moore, Morty Friedman, Vito Bretta and alot more. Jason Loves the melody in music. The more the better such as classical music. The style music that Jason plays fits perfect with the music that Peptis writes. He has never been happier to be in a band that "works" and "makes sense" with two great musicans. He says this is the best band that he has ever been in and feels very lucky to have found Peptis.
