First Jason (Ari Lehman of Friday The 13th) Rocks!!

Thank you Ari Lehman (Jason Voorhees in the first Friday The 13th movie) and his great band First Jason for a fun, rocking night at the Paramount Arts Center.
The band played for about 40 minutes, featuring songs that combine metal and punk rock music, but lyrically, the songs are all about Jason. Really cool stuff.
After the band’s set, Ari took a couple of questions from the audience about the Friday The 13th movie, then the band, who include Ari on vocals and keytar, Eddie Machete on guitar, and Bass Amp on drums, sat in the audience and did a commentary watch along of the movie Friday The 13th.
Lots of fun tidbits about the movie, trivia questions for the audience, and just funny comments throughout.
Then after the movie, Ari went to the lobby to take pictures and sign stuff.
This was a really fun night.
Not a lot of people were there, but I hope the band and everyone had fun.  I know I did.
Thank you guys for the great night!
And as Ari said “Jason never dies!”
