Calling all Deadheads! Join Jay Faires of Jerry Tone Store for a night of music and stories!

Doors at 6pm, show at 7pm. $15 tickets available online or at the door.

Tickets available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1129599535619?aff=oddtdtcreator

Born in Tennessee, Jay Faires grew up playing acoustic guitar, wishing it was an electric - exposed at age 7 to the east TN bluegrass scene via barn and parking lot jams, bluegrass camp, and most importantly, learning fiddle tunes from a man named Randy Terry in a half-demolished baptist church, Jay was initially hesitant to embrace the acoustic nature of bluegrass instruments. But due to the deep love of playing and performing music with others, he found his footing as a young flatpicking guitarist. As soon as possible, electric guitar came into the picture In high school and college, and his musical journey throughout Tennessee and North Carolina exposed him to what he calls "feel good" music - old gospel songs, old time tunes, classic and modern bluegrass, jazz jams, Garcia/Hunter and Weir/Barlow tunes, and songs written by friends he's made along the way. While he is just now finding his footing as a songwriter, his solo shows have lately been focused on reciting the songs from long ago - 1800s and early 1900s folk and other roots songs have such beautiful traditions and stories of being passed down through generations, and with a particular love for the songs and guitar work of Jerry Garcia, Jay performs a (mostly) acoustic set of tunes that he feels hit a frequency that transcends time. Jay typically brings an acoustic guitar, a banjo, and an electric guitar, and what happens after that - that's up to the audience. 

Jay Faires is the creator of Jerry Tone Store, inspired by his lifetime love of the sound and tone of Jerry Garcia. His dad, Eric, was a taper from 1981-1983 - Grateful Dead music playing throughout the house as a kid left a lasting impact on his musical tastes and more. The first song Jay ever heard was "I Will Take You Home"  off the "Built to Last" album on the way home from the hospital, thanks to his deadhead father. Through his work with Jerry Tone Store, Jay modifies people's guitars to help them recreate the magic that Jerry felt when he played onstage.
