I was born and raised in the home of Rockabilly music, where everyone can tell you stories of seeing Carl Perkins hanging out at Cecil's Bandstand and eating burgers at the first Hard Rock Cafe in the States. The Hub City is my home. Situated just between Memphis, Nashville, and Muscle Shoals, being in the heart of the Music Triangle has been nothing short of incredible for me as a musician.
My lyrics are heavily influenced by the beatnik movement of the late 50's and 60's in that I write from experience. My lyrics come first, and when you listen to my music, they are at the forefront. Sonically, I would describe my sound as a mix of Americana, Psych-Rock, and Modern Alternative. I love to experiment and evolve as an artist.
I eat, sleep, and breathe music. My grandfather and I own the only brick-and-mortar record store between Memphis and Nashville, and preserving music history is something I am insanely passionate about.

Rob & Jay are brothers from Nashville who love to make music together. At the time of publication, they have two albums out. The first, At Home With Rob & Jay, is an electronic album exploring isolation and self-deprecation with unexpected and propulsive sounds. The second, With Love From Rob & Jay, is a jangly, 60's inspired folk album digging into the beauty and the complication of relationships.
