Thanks for checking out my site. I'm a singer/guitar player from New York's beautiful Hudson Valley. I recently started offering private instruction on guitar from beginner to intermediate level players in my private, fully equipped studio, or the comfort of your own home. I offer multiple sibling discounts and my rates are very reasonable. I try to teach people what they want to play as quickly as possible. For a limited time, I'm offering 1 free half-hour lesson to students who are interested in learning to play and sing. Just mention the promotional code BIGJAY when calling. Don't have a guitar? No problem, I have electric and acoustic guitars to loan to students who don't want to make a significant investment in an instrument until they are sure they want to continue lessons. So what do you have to lose? Call and set up an appointment today!
I'm currently working on a few projects, having fun most of the time. "The Roustabouts" have a new website under construction that should be up by the end of November. For a sneak preview, check out : users.bandzoogle.com/roustaboutsband/

We are an acoustic trio playing classic R&B, with some jazz, blues and folk thrown in. We are pleased to announce that we have recently signed on as the house band at the world famous Hotel Fauchere in Milford, PA. For information about this historic hotel check out : www.hotelfauchere.com
The Roustabouts also host an open mic at Failte's out in Dingmans Ferry, PA every Sunday afternoon from 4 to 8PM on the deck, weather permitting. For more information on Failte's, check out: www.failtePA.com Feel free to come down and sing or play with me and my friends. It's a great place to meet other like minded musicians, young and old.
I play at some local bars, restaurants, pubs, and clubs. I also play in a Classic R&B Blues band called The New Guys. For information on The New Guys, check out the new site at:

Get in touch with me if your next special event needs the right blend of music and atmosphere. I can provide solo acoustic music all the way on up to a rockin R&B band complete with a slammin' horn section. No event too big or too small.
