Chet Atkins and Floyd Cramer


Jason, 23, has played piano since he was old enough to reach the keys. Meagan, 26, tinkered with several instruments off and on as a child, but only started singing and playing guitar in the fall of 1999. (You can read their individual stories at their own websites, JasonColemanMusic.com and MeaganTaylor.com.)

Though Meagan and Jason each grew up with a love for music, their paths have only recently crossed...

In the fall of 2003, Meagan’s mother discovered that a friend was planning a party at which Floyd Cramer’s grandson, Jason, would be playing piano. Taking note of the unique connection between the two families, Meagan’s mother intended to talk to her daughter about getting in touch with Jason. After Jason heard about the chance meeting, he sent Meagan a note with a CD of a church Christmas concert featuring him at the piano.

Upon receiving the CD, Meagan was very reluctant to contact Jason. "Honestly, I was intimidated by his playing and decided he had been playing far longer and was much further advanced," Meagan admits. After much prodding by her mother, she eventually called him and invited him to hear her perform at a local show, and later asked him to play with her at the annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society convention in the summer of 2004.

So, they worked up some songs that were produced and/or played by Meagan’s great-uncle and performed at the convention. Later that year, Jason played for Meagan's wedding; then they collaborated again for CAAS 2005 and 2006. "Our styles of playing meshed really well from the beginning," Jason says. "It has always been a very natural connection. Plus, our parents have told us it's like they're stepping into a time machine when they hear us play."

The more Meagan and Jason played together, the more they entertained the idea of recording an album together. With the support and encouragement of their families, in late 2006, Meagan and Jason felt that the time had arrived, and they started working on the Revival project.

Meagan's first album of guitar music, Carryin' On, was recorded in 2001. She is currently completing work on a new solo guitar album, to be released later this summer.

Jason has recorded three solo CDs: Merry Little Christmas (2005), an album of instrumental Christmas music; Legacy (2006), which features the country classics for which his grandfather was best known; and Faith (2007), a collection of instrumental hymns and songs of praise.
