Jason Sweeney

Jason is an experienced acoustic guitarist and singer who specialises in live cover performances for pubs, bars, hotels and events. His approach to live music is built around one simple aim: to create the right atmosphere for the room, whether that means relaxed background music early in the evening or higher-energy sets that keep people engaged later on. Jason began performing live music through a strong interest in guitar and songcraft, developing his skills through years of regular gigging in hospitality venues. Over time, this has given him a clear understanding of what works in different settings and how to adapt his performance to suit the audience, venue size and occasion. Rather than delivering a fixed set every night, he focuses on reading the room and adjusting the pace, volume and song choices accordingly. His repertoire draws from a wide range of well-known songs across pop, rock and classic favourites, spanning multiple decades. This allows Jason to appeal to mixed-age audiences and makes him a strong fit for venues that want familiar, crowd-friendly music performed in an acoustic style. The emphasis is always on recognisable songs, strong vocals and a professional, dependable performance. Jason has extensive experience performing in pubs, bars, hotels and similar venues, and is comfortable working within set times, sound limits and venue requirements. He is fully self-contained with professional PA equipment and takes pride in being reliable, punctual and easy to work with. Venue staff and bookers value his organised approach and understanding of how live music fits into a wider hospitality environment. Highlights of Jason’s performing work include regular bookings at well-established local venues, repeat bookings based on positive audience response, and ongoing work through booking agencies alongside direct venue relationships. These repeat engagements reflect both the quality of his performances and the trust venues place in him to deliver a consistent experience. Above all, Jason performs because he enjoys the connection that live music creates in a room. Whether people are chatting over drinks, singing along to a familiar chorus or simply enjoying the atmosphere, his focus is always on enhancing the venue experience rather than overpowering it. This balance of musicianship, professionalism and awareness of the setting is what makes Jason a reliable and effective live cover act
