[edit] Career
They began performing in the folk-pop genre in coffee houses in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. In 1994, their live album, Live at KaLo's Coffee House, was released, and drew some attention. In 1995 they were discovered by a member of McMillan Associates. After touring for a year, in 1996 they released a second independent album, Not from Concentrate and performed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. While touring they were noticed by Jimmy Buffett, who signed them to Island Records, the label on which they released We've Never Heard Of You, Either in 1998.[1]
In 2000, the duo released Evan and Jaron for Columbia Records.[2] The album included hit singles "Crazy for This Girl", "From My Head to My Heart", and "The Distance."[2] At the height of their success, Evan started a family and the touring ceased. Their most recent album, Half Dozen, offered more of an Americana/country sound and included six songs as well as three additional bonus tracks.
In March 2006, the pair appeared on ABC's reality TV show, American Inventor, showcasing their Pit Port, a container for discarded seeds and pits in various fruits and nuts.[3]
[edit] Jaron and the Long Road to Love

Jaron released his debut album, Getting Dressed in the Dark, on June 22, 2010. The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart selling 23,916 copies in its first week.[5]
