Jason Feddy

[1][2] In 1984 he became lead singer of his first professional band, "Soft Target," working men's clubs in the UK's North East and touring Norway.

Along with Jason as lead singer (who had in years past toured with Joe Cocker), the band features an all-star lineup of musicians including John Troy on bass, Ray Weston on drums, Richard Bredice on guitar, Dave Witham on keyboards, Jimmy 'Z' Zavala on saxophone, and "The Chick" back-up singers: Pat Hawk, Janis Leibhart, and Lori Mark-Heingold.

[11] The Beatroots are: Jason Feddy (lead vocals and guitar); Geoff Perlman (vocals/guitars); John Troy (vocals/bass) and Evan Stone (drums).

[29] His songs were used in the 2018 Bares Bones Theater production of In Search of Silvia, Or What Goes Awry When Fools Fall in Love, by Lojo Simon.

[32] In 2016 Feddy teamed up with Rabbi-Cantor Marcia Tilchin, founder of The Jewish Collaborative of Orange County, to host a monthly musical Kabbalat Shabbat service.

[33] Feddy began his radio career in 2013 with a Sunday morning show entitled "Full English Breakfast" on KXRN 93.5 FM in Laguna Beach.

An affable sort of a guy with a soft, reedy speaking voice bearing a distinct Northern twang, he relaxed and laughed with us.

His long wavy hair under a stylish baker-boy cap atop an impossibly loud shirt signaled that her was a guy for whom his music was everything.

English author, musician and screenwriter Jeremy Dyson (an acquaintance of Feddy's wife) uses the name "Jason Feddy" to represent a fictional character in his short story entitled "A Visit From Val Koran", appearing in the collection of short stories published in 2000 entitled Never Trust A Rabbit (Duck Editions, ISBN 0715630970).

[50] In 2017, Feddy was recognized as a "Local Luminary" by Laguna Beach Magazine, an annual list of creators, champions and change-makers who have made a significant impact—near and far.

[53] Feddy attended Leeds' Morris Silman Middle School in the United Kingdom, which provided a rounded Jewish and secular education and Bar-Mitzvah training.

Active for all of his childhood years in the Kibbutz oriented youth movement (Habonim Dror), Feddy was raised to the soundtrack of Jewish music, both ancient and modern.

In 2010, Feddy married his sweetheart, classically trained actress Ava Burton,[55] in Israel on Kibbutz Tuval, under a chuppah overlooking the Galilean hills.
