NASHVILLE, TENN. - (May 6, 2022) - Florida singer/songwriter, Jason Brownie, announced today the release of his debut single, “Pretty Girl On The Passenger Side.” This upbeat, country driving tune is just what the nicer weather ordered. Solo-penned by Jason Brownie and produced by Jeff Bates, the single was recorded at Funhouse Studio Nashville, with vocals recorded at Bateshop Studio in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Rodney Ingle engineered the new music at Funhouse Studio and Jeff Bates served as engineer at Bateshop, as well as handled the editing, mixing and mastering. Download and stream the new music on all digital music platforms including Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube Music and more at prettygirlonthepass.

Studio musicians on the project featured Lonnie Williams on drums, Joel Key, acoustic guitar, Jonathan Brown, piano, keys and organ, James Mitchell, electric guitar, Kevin “Swine” Grant, bass guitar and Rodney Ingle on background vocals.

"This was the very first song we tracked in Nashville. It was such an amazing and humbling experience being in a room with some of the best session players in Nashville, who were there to play on my songs! This song in particular is just a fun, catchy song and I am very excited with the way it turned out. It's easy to sing along to and so much fun to play live!" relayed Jason Brownie.

"Pretty Girl on the Passenger Side"' is a feel-good and full of energy Country tune that speaks to the happier side of life," shares CEO of Clearwater Records-Robert Gomes. "The Clearwater Records family is excited to have Jason as one of the new artists on our label roster and we see a very bright future for his career in music."

“Pretty Girl on the Passenger Side” is a great driving song! There are certain songs that just make a person want to crank the radio up and cruise down the highway, such as the classic “Take It Easy” by the Eagles and Tom Cochrane’s “Life Is A Highway.” Jason wanted this song to have a vibe similar to that. He wrote the song a couple of years ago, but struggled with the chorus. He had that hook in his head and knew it was catchy, but the lyrics actually went through several variations before he got it right. The song’s bridge lyrics were the chorus at one point. The line ‘rolling down the road of this beautiful life’ was actually the last lyrics written, and it made the song come together and help paint the picture he was trying to convey. Fans always tell him they cannot get that song out of their head.

“An open road
Cloud of dust
Throttle’s wide open
And my mind’s made up
She’s a little hard to handle
When she gets revved up
But she’s taught me a thing or two about love
Taught me a thing or two about love
Yeah, she’s young and reckless
And high on life
She’s a little rebel with fire in her eyes
And I’m rollin’ down the road
Of this beautiful life
With the pretty girl on the passenger side ...”

About Jason Brownie:
Country artist Jason Brownie has a musical style that can be summed up in three words. American. Country. Rock. An especially grounded artist who comes from the “boondocks” of a small southwest Florida town and says his roots lie deep in his love for God and country. Influenced heavily by both country and rock and roll, Jason is passionate about both genres he grew up listening to and his own music certainly reflects that.   


A music journey different than most, he chose a path of not relocating to Nashville after graduating high school and instead stayed rooted in his hometown perfecting his craft and like many others, almost gave up on music completely a couple of times. Jason is the perfect example of the American Dream and through hard work and being resilient has found himself immersed in his music and achieving those dreams sparked many years ago. The hard work has paid off, with Jason recently inking a record deal with Clearwater Records. His first single, “Pretty Girl on the Passenger Side” is set to release on May 6, 2022, with the song’s music video following soon. Calling Nashville his new “home away from home,” Jason spent time in the studio tracking vocals with country artist Jeff Bates.


A native of Punta Gorda, Florida, Jason holds a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Hodges University and is currently working toward his Master’s in Cybercrime from the University of South Florida. In addition, he also holds a Florida Real Estate license. Jason comes from a long line of both military and first responders. A third-generation law enforcement officer, he has spent years serving and protecting his community. He’s also been busy raising his daughter and writing and playing music relentlessly on the local music scene.


An industrious person by nature, enjoys spending time with family, especially being a “girl dad,” boating, weightlifting, fishing, boxing, basketball, billiards and music of course. When asked who his favorite musician is, his quick answer is there are just too many to name. He has a knack for collecting guitars and cowboy boots and states his influences come from many different artists and genres. Ask Jason about football and he will excitedly tell you he’s a huge Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. Sports aside, his overall life hero is his own grandfather.


His goals for the future are to continue playing music, pen a hit record and have a notable artist record one of his songs.

In between serving his Florida community as a law-enforcement officer, Jason Brownie took a major step forward on his path toward his country music goals when he released his debut single “Pretty Girl on the Passenger Side” this past May. We recently had the awesome opportunity to check in with Jason and talk about the new single, working with country music superstar Jeff Bates, signing with Clearwater Records, and much much more! (Interview by: Jeffrey Kurtis/Photo credit: New Life Photography) 1) Your music has been described as American Country. For someone who hasn’t heard it yet, though, can you further define your sound? Influences? What era of country shows up most in your branded style? Etc. I think American Country Rock is fitting because my music is a good mixture of country with a twist of good old-fashioned rock-n-roll! I try to write things people can relate to. Some of it is wholesome and fun. Some of it is deep. And obviously being a Christian and First Responder, I’m patriotic! 2) You live in Florida, but unlike so many others who are pursuing country music, have decided to not relocate to Nashville. What made you decide that it was better to stay in your home state for now? Easy answer. My family. Particularly being a single Dad to my daughter. We are super close. Also, the fact that I am still serving my community as a law-enforcement officer. 3) Have you experienced any setbacks because of not moving here to Nashville? I LOVE Nashville, but I’m a small-town country boy. I think if anything, maybe not being able to network like I would like to with other musicians, writers, etc. I would love to do more co-writing. However, in today’s age with social media, Zoom, etc., networking isn’t as big of an obstacle as it would have been 10 years ago. 4) Switching over to your music…back in May you released your debut single “Pretty Girl on the Passenger Side.” Tell us a little bit about the song. “Pretty Girl on the Passenger Side” is just a fun, wholesome song that makes you want to cruise down the road and turn your radio up (hopefully)! 5) You wrote the song on your own without any-cowriter? What is the inspiration behind it? Always wanted to write a good song for driving! The hook to the song came to me first and I just thought it was super catchy. And I love how in the beginning of the song, it’s not clear if I’m talking about a girl or the car! 6) The song was produced by country superstar Jeff Bates. How did that friendship with Jeff come about and lead to a working business relationship? Jeff was introduced to me by my friend and Record Label CEO, Robert Gomes. 7) What unique touches did he bring to the studio that helped you find the overall vibe of the song, that without him may not have been there? Jeff is an incredible singer and songwriter himself and has a very good vision of where I am trying to go with my songs. He is a heck of a vocal coach and really pushes me in the studio to be my very best. And he always allows me to be true to myself. We have an outstanding working relationship and respect for one another. 8) You have signed a deal with Clearwater Records. What did Clearwater offer that made you feel like it was the perfect label home for you and your music that ultimately made you sign on the dotted line? I was very attracted to the family atmosphere of Clearwater Records. Mr. Gomes and I became good friends first and spent many nights just jamming on our acoustic guitars at his place, way before signing as an artist. His entire family welcomed my family and I as their own. And they believe in me. I couldn’t be more blessed. 9) One question about the more personal side of your life…Tell us a bit about majoring in Criminal Justice and working toward a master’s degree in cybercrime? We’re intrigued! I’ve been in law-enforcement for over 14 years. I have worked as a Police Officer, Field Training Officer, Detective, Background Investigator, Sergeant and now Commander. My education is important to me for promotional purposes as well as potential work in the private sector post-retirement. (Assuming I’m not making hits! 10) What one piece of advice can you offer to someone who is just starting out and trying to break into the music industry? The best piece of advice I can give… and I feel I’m the perfect example of this… DON’T EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!!! Over the course of my career, I’ve had so many setbacks and letdowns and I almost quit playing music altogether on several different occasions. Thank God I didn’t! Obviously have a backup plan in place, but stay focused, keep working hard, and never give up. Never quit chasing dreams. To read the full article: CLICK HERE
