Jason Molina was a great, largely unsung, singer-songwriter from Ohio, who released a multitude of albums between 1996 and 2009, mostly on the Secretly Canadian label. The music he made as Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co., and under his own name deeply connected to and influenced listeners throughout the world. He was known for his tireless work ethic, lyrical adroitness, and prolific musical output. He championed other artists, and was a supporter and friend to many.
Molina passed in 2013 at the age of 39, leaving a deep catalog of songs which have meant so much to many people, and we hope will continue to be discovered for years to come.
