Jason Kelce Is Not New To Saxophone!
In the early 2000s, while attending Cleveland Heights High School in Ohio, Jason Kelce showcased a dual talent in both athletics and the arts. He played the baritone saxophone in the school’s jazz and symphonic bands.
Years later, in 2023, Kelce’s musical background re-emerged when he joined his brother Travis and Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson to record the holiday album “A Philly Special Christmas.” While Kelce’s role was primarily as a vocalist, interviews around the project highlighted his earlier experience as a saxophonist.
