Jay was first recording bluegrass and fiddle tunes of his native Kentucky at the age of 14, before coming under the influence of Johnny Cash, Nirvana, Bob Dylan and Elliot Smith. Now, over a decade of songwriting later, his lyrics have matured in a more purposeful direction, amalgamating his influences into a fiery stew that’s been labeled “grunge country,” though Jay prefers the umbrella of “no genres, no gods.” He’s been all over the country, playing little shows and keeping the “DIY” spirit alive with songs that paint a picture of a life on the road, in the ditches and in a truck. He’ll likely be in your town soon, so get the couch ready cause the boy needs some rest.
