for algernon

Jason Wells began performing in Cincinnati, OH around the year 2000 as a solo performer. As time passed he began to acquire some local Cincinnati musicians to back him during live performances. Eventually he began writing certain songs with a band in mind and decided that he would go under the name “for algernon”.  The music ranges from buoyant indie-pop to dark and broken folk.  He recently completed an album for the 2010 RPM challenge titled “Random Acts of Solitude” with multiple tracks ending up in best of podcasts.
