When not performing with Lazybirds, Shantavaani, or Swing Guitars, Jay Brown still finds some time to play with his other band, The Jay Brown One-Man-Band.  Formed in 2007, The Jay Brown One-Man-Band includes Jay Brown on vocals, guitar, harmonica, and percussion.  In 2010 the band added a new member, Jay Brown, on piano.

An American roots musician, Jay has hundreds of classic songs in his repertoire, as well as another hundred or so originals.  Jay can often be found playing in pubs around Asheville, but he has also studied and performed music across the far reaches of the world, including New Orleans, California, India, Ghana, Peru, and Swannanoa.

Lyric of the Week:

Well the people came from miles around
To kneel before the shrine
And they left their gifts of gems and gold
And also finest wine
And nations raised to sing his praise
And wars he did inspire
And as the ages passed they called him Lord
But they never made a fire.

The Lyric of the week is "Ballad of the Man of Flame " from Jay's 2004 CD, "Protests Songs." Each week we will have a new highlighted lyric from Jay. To go to the complete lyrics page, click here.
