 “I knew early on that Jaron was capable of great things, and it’s been awesome to see him accomplish so much not only as his publisher, but also as a collaborator in the studio and as a friend. The songs he’s written for Jason’s new album are some of his finest work yet, and I’m proud that peermusic will publish them,” said Michael Knox, SVP, peermusic Nashville.
