The Wanderbird

Born alongside the Mississippi River and raised in the Ozark Mountains of southeast Missouri, songwriter, storyteller and devoted rambler The Wanderbird sips from a deep well of Country, Folk, Gospel & Rural Blues while taking listeners on a journey through the backwaters and blue collars of the people and places he's been. Leaving the hills & hollers of his beloved Ozark Mountains behind in his late-teens, Jay spent over 15 years wandering among the underground of American society, hoboing from town to town, collecting story's & woodshedding songs, while playing dive bars and working a litany of odd-jobs to support himself. In the fall of 2015, Jay completed his first overseas tour and has since been featured on Festival & Venue stages throughout Canada, the U.K. & Europe.
