BIO

Jay Hurley is a multi (strings) instrumentalist with smoky vocals, and a way with words. From sunrise acoustic songwriting, to wailing slide guitar blues, Hurley’s original songs are poignant and playful. 

Sounds of fiddles, tenor guitar, bass, and homemade cigar box guitars were used in the making of “Ghost Town” - a crowd funded studio EP album to be released this spring 2024.
