Bassist JASON PUNYON is a lover of soul and funk music, some created before his time. Now 25, he became the band's youngest member in 2006. As the son of keyboardist Harris Punyon, Jason grew up in a very musical home and at 16 switched from saxophone to the electric bass. Under the watchful eye of master bassist Greg Fiellin, he quickly advanced beyond his years, becoming a proficient reader and writer of music, and playing professionally within two years.

Jason enjoys emulating the best of the classic jazz, funk, rock, and R&B bassists, making him the perfect fit for the Pocket Change line up. And with Francis (Rocco) Prestia a favorite, he brings that inimitable "bump" to the Pocket Change sound.
