Classic Country & Americana Originals - Think Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, John Prine fused with a modern singer-songwriter twist.
Jay Grady combines a smooth, silky voice with well structured, catchy melodies and honest, heart-drilling lyrics. His songs project his stories on the walls of the venues he plays, letting you immerse yourself in your imagination and relax on the sounds you hear.
I have performed with Jay many times during my time living in Austin, Texas. Jay is an absolute professional: always arrives on time, prepared, locked in and ready to go! He always have a few extra songs in his back pocket as well so there's never a shortage for entertainment. He creates a great connection with his audience and knows how to shape adjust his set based on his sharp intuition. A thoughtful and smart songwriter to boot--Jay is a solid performer all around!
This man is as professional as they come and loves what he does. Great country sound with a hint of soul. Super relatable in his songwriting, tells stories in a charming way.
