Watch Jason White play a couple Pinhead Gunpowder songs on acoustic guitar

By Matt /Apr. 28, 2017 / Comments

While Green Day was in Las Vegas for the city's stop on the Revolution Radio tour, Jason White connected with Punks in Vegas, a music site dedicated to covering punk rock acts. One of their more popular series is Stripped Down Sessions in which a punk rock band gets out only their acoustic guitars and plays some "stripped down" songs.

Jason played a handful of songs for the site: two by Pinhead Gunpowder and two by California, both bands which he is a member of. Check out the performances below. Thanks to @GDLot for posting these on Twitter.

Learn more about Pinhead Gunpowder and California in our Side Projects section.

"Cabot Girl" by Pinhead Gunpowder
