Jason Buie, a remarkable guitarist and singer, first crossed paths with James Buddy Rogers in 1995 in Terrace, BC. At that time, Rogers was performing with Russell Jackson, while Buie was engaged in a rock gig. Their musical chemistry was evident when Buie joined Rogers on stage with the Jackson band for a jam session. This initial collaboration sparked an instant friendship, and they spent that week-long gig in Terrace hanging out nearly every minute they weren't performing at night.

Their bond only grew stronger over the years, with Buie and Rogers sharing countless stages across BC and Alberta. Whether they were playing in intimate clubs or at larger festivals, their performances were marked by a synergy that captivated audiences. Their relationship was akin to that of brothers, complete with the occasional disagreements and periods of not speaking, but always grounded in a deep mutual respect and affection.

Buie's influence extended beyond his musical talent; his charismatic presence and genuine personality left a lasting impact on those who knew him. Tragically, Jason Buie passed away on March 22, 2018, leaving a void in the hearts of many. He is survived by his three children: Sophie, Etta, and Jackson, who carry forward his legacy.

Buie's life and music continue to be celebrated by friends, family, and fans who remember him as a true artist and beloved friend.
