Biography

Songs: Ohia, the project of Jason Molina, was a singer-songwriter known for his soul-searching lyrics and tenor guitar playing. Initially compared to artists like Palace/Will Oldham, Molina's later work incorporated a strong country influence while maintaining his introspective songwriting style reminiscent of Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. Born in Lorain, Ohio, Molina transitioned from playing in heavy metal bands to pursuing a solo career, eventually forming Songs: Ohia and releasing critically acclaimed albums under the Secretly Canadian label.

Molina's discography with Songs: Ohia showcased his evolution as a musician, from sparse, dark themes in early works like Axxess & Ace to the fuller sound and diverse influences in albums like Didn't It Rain and Magnolia Electric Co. Despite struggling with alcoholism, Molina continued to create music until his untimely death in 2013. His legacy lives on through reissues of his works, like the 2018 re-release of The Lioness Sessions, which included previously unreleased tracks from that era and charted on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
