Doors open 6pm, show 7-9pm. $15 tickets available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1234926882549?aff=oddtdtcreator

Bob Denson is new to the area, but has 25 years of entertaining audiences behind him. With a solo show that sounds like a full band, Bob quickly loops and layers guitar, bass, drums, and vocals to create full arrangements of original music and covers. His band Bob Denson's Blues debut EP "Whose Blues Is It?" was released in 2024, yet his original work spans genres from pop to jazz while being centered in folk, rock, and blues. Always providing a high-energy show and engaging audiences in various forms of participation, he connects with the crowd through a wide variety of memorable songs and witty banter. With the freedom to create arrangements live on stage, Bob never plays the same show twice and over two decades of professional training and performances echoing across theatres, colleges, festivals, bars, restaurants, and private events attest to that.

Jay Faires- LIVE at Birdies!

Jay Faires- LIVE at Birdies!

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.
