Jay Nash’s rough-hewn voice, poignant melodies, and unique yet subtly virtuosic approach to the guitar have taken him across the United States and Europe more times than he can count. He has released seven full-length solo albums, and four solo EPs along with another ten albums with his collaborative efforts. For his album ‘Diamonds and Blood’ he worked with experienced musicians, that worked with artists such as Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Ray LaMontagne and Counting Crows.

“There’s just something about a guy and a guitar. It is rock & roll at it’s most purest form, distilled from the rich tradition of blues and folk music that birthed the genre in the first place. From Clapton back in the day to John Mayer now, find a guy who knows what he’s doing with that instrument and his voice, and you’ve got a surefire recipe for songs that speak to us at our deepest levels. Jay Nash taps into the best of emotional, guitar-driven rock & roll, he has that uncanny gift to just make his guitar talk. With shimmering extended notes that give a well of melancholic emotionality to the guitar playing itself, Jay Nash proves how stirring a track can be when it’s stripped down to just the basics.”
