Hailing from the Midwest and eventually landing in Northern California, Jay cut his teeth as a musician in the late 1990s hopping back and forth between open mic nights and playing guitar with whoever he could. He went on to form three bands including the Ghosts of California, Infinite Martini, and the Cowboy Killers. In 2008, he produced and performed on a compilation called "Last Day of Summer Sessions," featuring various Midtown Sacramento artists. During this time, Jay also released two solo efforts, "Heavy Early" and "Best Laid Plans," and has just released his third full length LP, "Ruth,". "Ruth" is a culmination of Jay's progress and journey as a producer, engineer, songwriter and guitar player. He currently plays guitar in the band 50-Watt Heavy, and is preparing to tour in support of the release of "Ruth".
