Brief Bio
Born in Scotland, I first picked up the guitar and sang from the age of 14 at High School and played in many cover bands all across the UK and have just recently played my 1000th gig.

Eventually in 2011 I moved to sunny Marlborough at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. I can play a wide variety of covers from the 60,s all the way through to 2021 and am available for any type of function, wedding or party. I can do either an acoustic guitar/vocal set or an electric guitar/vocal set with full professional backing tracks.

Check out my comprehensive song list.

Jason Wilcox hails from Mississippi, USA and has made his home in New Zealand. As part of the New Zealand jazz landscape for over 20 years, Jason has played with many top Kiwi musicians and vocalists including Paul Dyne, Tom Rainey, Janine Bailey, Courtenay Washington, Ali Harper, Brian Smith, Rodger Fox, Geoff Culverwell and Australian vocalist Nichaud Fitzgibbon.

He evokes the classic jazz guitar and vocal sounds of the old school – his influences include Wes Montgomery, Nat Cole, John Pizzarelli, Grant Green, Joe Pass, Tuck Andress and George Benson.

Jason performs regularly with a solo acoustic set which is a mix of acoustic pop / rock and jazz which is pure listening pleasure. He also has jazz duo, trio quartet or more options, which can transform in to a dance band.


Jason Wilcox studied jazz performance at the Christchurch Polytech Jazz School for three years after moving from Mississippi in the early 90s to live in New Zealand. With extensive bandleader and arrangement experience in pop and jazz ensembles, Jason has also worked as a solo guitarist throughout New Zealand. He has been a show guitarist in many live stage productions, including Chess, Little Shop Of Horrors, Fiddler On The Roof, and Rush, and composed and arranged for the popular outdoor theatrical, Linnaeus Prince Of Flowers. In the late 90s Jason recorded for NZ radio with the Aja jazz trio. He has been employed as a professional showband guitarist in the Carribean with Carnival Cruises, and the Royal Carribean Cruise Line. He teaches and performs regularly, from weddings and corporate functions to festivals and local jazz combo playing. Jason is now resident and performing in Wellington.

“Play it Again, Sam!” is the Piano-Man show, starring Sam Hyde on piano & vocals. His solo act is a fresh & exciting blend of piano-man favourites – including recent ‘classics’ from the likes of Coldplay, Brandon Flowers & Keane, as well as honouring all-time greats such as Elton John, Billy Joel & Fleetwood Mac.

” … The last of our guests left last evening after nearly a week of celebrations

The highlight of the week was our “Dance” at ‘The Pines’ on
Saturday night.
‘ I want to thank you for your contribution to this event by providing a
great range of music, which allowed all ages present (from teens to
mid-80’s) to get up and dance, and it is not always so easy to please three
generations musically!
We appreciated the preparation and thought put into the music which you
presented so well , and revived memories for so many.

The eldest couple told me they hadn’t danced for years as ” there has
never been the right music” – and they so enjoyed finding their dancing
feet again!

To put it simply Dave – GREAT MUSIC!, Thank you for making it such a
successful evening for us all”.
