Jay Gavin grew up in a tiny close-knit Canadian fishing village on Prince Edward Island where the potato fields are lined by red dirt roads, there isn’t a stop light for 100 miles and the kitchen parties go on for days. After years touring North America and recording as a bassist with punk & metal bands like Spawner Record’s Huskavarna, and Texas thrash legends Speedealer, Jay came full circle and returned to his roots in country.

 

Jay writes and sings songs for fans of real county music and is often compared to artists like Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Earl Keen and John Prine. Jay's on tour in 2024 promoting his latest album Road Ready produced by five time Grammy nominee Denny Knight (Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty) of the Nashville Music Group. Reaching #3 on the Alt-Country Specialty Charts with Road Ready, Jay has radio and PR support for his tour. 

 

Whether backed by a full band or stripped down with just his guitar, his live show feels like a party. You'll laugh and sing and dance and go home feeling that you've made a new friend. Jay can't wait to share a song and a beer with his fans across North America this year!
