Roy J Band

Expect to be surprised. While the Roy Jay Band has a signature sound, you never know where the music might take you. Every night, RJB's cast of experienced improvisers travels to new places and carries the crowd along. Each live performance is an adventure. And while fans can count on hearing some staples, they should also prepare for the unexpected--whether a favorite cover or a new original. Drawing from the wide swath of American-music styles, RJB performances have become, at turns, forays into rhythm-and-soul, gritty blues-rock, lithe funk-jazz, and even the occasional free-form psychedelic freak-out--all tied together by the seasoned ensemble. On the heels of recent tours supporting venerable acts including Little Feat, Donna the Buffalo, and The Radiators, the Roy Jay Band is poised to continue bringing its unique brand of music to an ever-growing national audience. As one new fan from the Charleston, SC area wrote, "The Roy Jay Band show was everything that was promised--and more. [If] you live within driving distance of where they're likely to play, take a good friend's advice and GO! Wonderful human beings and wonderful music. Get it while you can."
