Jay Faires / @jerrytonestore Performance Schedule 2025

Projects:

  • four-piece improvisational band primarily at a local bar in Hudson, MA. We are called Mechanical Rat. We play a mix of our favorite “feel-good” music, and take chances just about every measure.

  • various sit-ins with Grateful Dead cover bands in the Northeast from time to time

  • performing solo and duo lineups throughout the northeast, playing a good mix of bluegrass and old time music.

  • seeking to connect with a few reliable, like-minded musicians who have a similar music taste and desire to improvise for some future projects :)
