Celebrating the life of Jason Goodrow

Friends and family will gather Sunday (tomorrow) from 3-8 p.m. at La Plaza Cultural to celebrate the life of Jason Goodrow, who passed away in May. 

Here's more about his life from a memorial page titled Jason Goodrow Forever: 

Jason Charles Samuel Goodrow was born to Garry Goodrow and Anne-Juliette Marlowe in NY City in 1959. A bright child of hippy beatnic parents who moved to San Francisco (father Garry a founding member of the Committee). 

Jason went to Berkeley High School, playing in many a punk band, and returned to NY to study at Hunter College. Rock and Roll took over his life, where he played guitar (bass, sitar, mandolin, and banjo) all over the Tri-State Area for the next 50 years. 

A fixture of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, playing in too many bands to mention, but a few of note: musical director and guitarist for 25 years for the Jive 5, Episonic, Slow Poke, Dum Dum Project, Spy Vs Spy (then Two Spy Guys), Rogue's March, Seanchai and many gigs with Adam Roth. Mixing and producing countless musical projects at Context Studios on Avenue A for many years... 

He is survived by his wife, Satoko; his sons, Ichiro and Tadashi; and his sister, Georgia.

Jason will be remembered for his musical talent, his deep ties to the Lower East Side, and the community he built through decades of performing, mixing, and mentoring.

There's also a "Life Celebration Jam" on Tuesday evening at Revision Lounge on Avenue B.
