Join us as Michelle Meow brings her long-running daily radio show to The Commonwealth Club one day each week, exploring important issues of interest to the LGBTQ community.

Our special guest this week is Jason Brock, a television, film and stage star. He was seen in homes all over the world as a finalist on X-Factor singing songs like Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind.” Jason also starred in the film, “Love is not Enough,” which played at global film festivals, including the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco. Jason is well-known as a cabaret star and performs original shows regularly. He has been called a “Bay Area Singing Legend” and was voted “Best Male Cabaret Singer” for the last three years in the Bay Area Reporter. He is followed by tens of thousands of people on social media (over fifty-five thousand followers on twitter alone) and has millions of views on YouTube

Jason Brock has been fortunate enough to have shared the stage with many celebrities. They include >Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Mario Lopez, Khloe Kardashian, Simon Cowell, Zayn Malik (One Direction), Fifth Harmony, Alex Newell (Glee), Taylor Mac, Diane Schuur, Paula West, Marga Gomez, L.A. Reid, Bea Miller, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Katya Smirnoff-Skyy, Leanne Borghesi, Erin-Kate Whitcomb, Sally Struthers, Bruce Vilanch, Florence Henderson and many, many more.

As far as Jason Brock’s personal life, he was born in East Texas, and then moved all over the country with his family – no they weren’t a military family – he’s still trying to figure out why they moved so much during his childhood. Anyway, Jason has lived in many places, but finally settled in San Francisco, California. It’s a great place for him to live because it’s diverse, beautiful, has an interesting political scene, and San Francisco was featured in several of the books (Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin, Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, The Color Purple [writer Alice Walker lives near the city]), that inspired Jason to live as his true self. He now resides at home with his partner and dog (not the same person) with a beautiful view of the Bay.
