Jared and the Social Worker is the roaring fire that came from the spark of pain and the fuel of hope. What started as a few notes and some poetry has turned into amazing music and cathartic lyrics. It has become the musical expression of the victories and tragedies felt the world over. It is music for anyone who has ever felt that their lives were cursed, that they were left unlucky, unprotected, or unloved.

The music of Jared and the Social Worker is hung on the things that matter to the individual members of the band and themes that resonate through continents and cultures.

Jared, the lead singer and a co-songwriter of the band, takes much of his reflection from the childhood experiences of domestic violence, divorce, years of child molestation, death of grandparents, and the untimely loss of his mother to AIDS. These horrors were softened and made surmountable by the blazing lazer of light and life: LOVE. That love is what Jared and the Social Worker give back to listeners, friends, fans and family.

Jared and Chris (guitarist, co-songwriter and former social worker) have been collaborating musically for almost 2 decades. Isaac (Bass) and Mike (drums) round out the Social Worker family and provide unparalleled musical input.

This band, these songs and all the sonic love of these 4 good men is represented in Jared and The Social Worker. Every fan or listener gets something different from the music but everyone who wants the musical and lyrical connection gets it.

The lyrics are truth. The music is wide-ranging. It’s a meal with flavours of rock, funk, punk, Indie and grunge.

Enjoy what you can; Share what you love and spread the music to everyone.

Love,
Jared, Chris, Isaac, Mike
