Jason Tait is a Canadian musician from Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1] He is the drummer for the Canadian indie rock band The Weakerthans.[2][3] Tait has also been a contributing member of Broken Social Scene and The FemBots.[4][5][6]

Career

[edit]

Tait played drums for the Painted Thin 1995 album Small Acts of Love and Rebellion; Stephen Carroll, guitarist for The Weakerthans, was also a member of Painted Thin.[7]

Tait moved to Toronto in about 2003, and lived there for ten years.[8] He played drums on Greg Graffin's 2006 album, Cold as the Clay.[9] and Bob Egan's album The Glorious Decline.[10]

In 2010 Tait set out on a cross-Canada tour with Toronto-based singer/songwriter Afie Jurvanen, who uses the stage name Bahamas.[11]

Tait returned to Winnipeg in 2013.[8] In 2015, he collaborated with his Weakerthans bandmate John K. Samson, Christine Fellows and Ashley Au on the music for For the Turnstiles, a dance performance by Winnipeg's Contemporary Dancers troupe inspired by Neil Young's 1974 album On the Beach.[12] In 2016, Tait and Fellows coproduced Samson's solo album Winter Wheat.[13]

Currently, Tait continues to play drums for Bahamas. While on tour, he plays kits made by C&C Drums, a Gladstone, Missouri-based custom drums manufacturer whose products he endorses.[14]
