Leo33 has signed Americana and heartland rock band Jason Scott & The High Heat.

The group has also inked with Triple 8 Management and Wasserman for booking. Frontman Jason Scott shared the news during their sold-out performance at AmericanaFest.

“Signing with Leo33, Triple 8 Management and Wasserman feels like finding a team that truly gets who we are as artists. We’ve built something special, and with their support, we’re ready to take it to the next level,” expresses Scott. “Making our debut at AmericanaFest with the support of such a respected team, in front of such an incredible crowd, was a moment we’ll never forget.”

Hailing from Oklahoma City, Jason Scott & The High Heat features Scott (lead vocals & guitar), Gabriel Mor (guitar), Ryan Magnani (bass), Bobby Wade (drums) and Garrison Brown (guitar & keyboard), along with former bandmate turned producer Taylor Johnson. The band’s debut album, Castle Rock, garnered recognition from NPR, The Boot and BBC Radio. Additionally, they’ve performed at festivals such as Stagecoach, Born & Raised Festival and Mile 0 Fest, and shared the stage with acts like Eli Young Band, The Band of Heathens and Josh Abbott.

“Jason Scott & The High Heat have a sound that feels both timeless and refreshing,” says Katie Dean, Head of Leo33. “They bring an authenticity and energy that perfectly aligns with our vision at Leo33. We couldn’t be more thrilled to support them on this next chapter.”

The group will release their new EP, High Country Heat, on Oct. 25. The project includes five tracks co-written by Scott and Johnson like “Natalie” and “If We Make it Til the Mornin,'” and aims to blend groove, grit and heartfelt storytelling. The title track, “High Country,” seeks to capture the raw spirit of the band’s Oklahoma roots, while “Me & the Bottle” attempts to take a tongue-in-cheek look at masculinity and emotional vulnerability.
