Founded by Jason E. Davies on the heels of the pandemic, The Social Contractors offer an upbeat blend of melodic original rock and classic covers.
Jason’s tightly crafted tunes feature improvised solos with pointed lyrics that span edgy political and environmental themes to tales of unrequited love and introspection – all with an ultimately optimistic perspective on the possible. In addition to Jason on guitar and vocals, The Social Contractors include Rob Neidel on bass and vocals, Travis Thayer on keyboard and saxophone, and Chris Oatman on drums. Other members include drummers Dan Ellecamp, Nick Schneider , and Scott McKenzieon, and Alex Fabian-Davies on bass.

"Social Contractor" lyrics:
​

I shook the hand of a social contractor
Perpetuating a pandemic disaster
It's on my hand, it's in your hair
Just don't breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to show that you care

Lock yourself away and I'll see you online
Sanitize your screen, I've already wiped mine
You coughed in my face like I wasn't there
Will I make it long enough to get medicare?

Serial liar, hand sanitizer
Stuck at the border, complying with order

Is the planet's solution to civilization...
A massive extinction from socialization?

Serial liars, hand sanitizers
​Stuck at the borders, complying with orders


They tell me to enter
Check in at the center
Touch your hand to the screen
But keep your face clean
