Jason Clark / Owner-Agent

In 1997 Jason Clark began his professional career with Superfly Presents, the New Orleans – based company responsible for the Bonnaroo and Vegoose Music Festivals. He worked as a Promotions Representative for Superfly and numerous individual artists, such as the String Cheese Incident and DJ Logic, among many others.  While getting a degree in Communications from LSU in Baton Rouge Jason helped kick-start a grassroots promotional campaign for Superfly’s New Orleans concert series, which helped launch the company to national status.  After LSU, Jason moved to New Orleans full-time to continue his work with Superfly as a Production Assistant and more during the company’s mostly-sold-out Superfly During Jazzfest concert series’ as well as throughout the year. 

It was in the summer of 2001 that Jason finally decided that if he was ever going to go into booking, he needed to know what it was like for the artists making their living on the road – he wanted to put himself in their shoes every day.  He began a 5 year tenure touring the world with, among other artists, the New Orleans funk outfit Galactic.  While touring over 250 days a year with Galactic in various roles ranging from Merchandise Manager and Stage Manager to Tour Manager and all points in between, Jason also worked on numerous festivals – from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Bonnaroo, and the Adirondack Mountain Music Festival to Phish’s Big Cypress Millennium Extravaganza and the first five Jam Cruise festivals. 

In 2006, Jason decided it was time to get married, get off the road, and get acquainted to his now-home of Austin, TX.  He returned to playing music himself, and honoring the legendary spirit of New Orleans he created Nola Soul Entertainment – first as a production company.   He also worked as the Head Talent Buyer for Direct Events in Austin, booking La Zona Rosa and The Glenn at The Backyard.  Upon discovering that his true passion lie with artists, Jason left the buying world and moved back to where he started – with the artists – refocusing Nola Soul into a full-service booking agency and production company in November of 2007.  With Nola Soul, Jason brings a wealth of musical knowledge, experience, and professionalism, coupled with a genuine enthusiasm to help artists realize their dreams.
