Sept 1st … Jay Brown has been playing guitar since the age of seven, and has gone on to share stages with a roll call of major names in American roots music at festivals and venues around the country. A prolific songwriter in an eclectic mix of genres, he’s spent years touring the U.S. and abroad absorbing musical styles. His versatility found expression as a founding member of the old-time swing band The Lazybirds, and other facets of his musical personality are on display in his work with the Indian-influenced group Shantavaani and Swing Guitars. As if that weren’t enough, Jay got his act together, as it were, as the Jay Brown One-Man Band in 2007 to showcase his many original songs and his take on traditional material, and he’s recently premiered a new group that taps deep Appalachian traditions. His music has garnered positive attention from fellow musicians, prompting Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show to observe that “The secret is out, Jay Brown is the most authentic songster to come out of the Carolina High Country since a man named Doc Watson.”
