Jason & the Diatonics is an emerging Canadian band based in Vancouver BC. This group of displaced Albertans is built upon the musings of singer/songwriter Jason Poulsen and augmented by the musical prowess of the Diatonics (Joel Mohr, Erik Olson, Stephanie Olson and Jim McLaren). J&D assembled over the course of 2010 through a myriad of friendships, coincidences, beverages and a love of music. The result is a fresh style of Acoustic-Pop full of stuck-in-your-head melodies and slick arrangements.

Independently released in July of 2011, ‘million miles of trouble’ is the title of the quintet's debut effort. The album has been called "...a bright-eyed and easygoing mix of coffee-house folk and acoustic pop, anchored by the confident vocals of singer-guitarist Jason Poulsen" (Mike Usinger - Georgia Straight). With 10 tracks of catchy melodies and whimsical wordplay, 'million miles of trouble' has been heard on CKUA in Alberta, CiTR in Vancouver, CIWSin Ontario and Butterflies Radio online.

Jason & the Diatonics were invited to perform as a live guest on Shaw TV's 'Urban Rush' and selections from 'million miles of trouble' are featured in the Vancouver web-series 'Social Life'. J&D have toured BC and Alberta 3 times and are currently working on a sophomore album that promises to build musically and conceptually on 'million miles of trouble'.
