There’s a timeless pulse that runs through Jay Pollmann’s music — Blending folk, roots, and blues with an unmistakable and authentic stomp. The Ontario songwriter has carved out a sound that feels both familiar and entirely his own.
3 albums in to his career, Jay has established himself in the last decade recording albums with the likes of Aaron Goldstien and Jimmy Bowskill behind the controls and performing hundreds of shows and festivals across Canada and the US sharing the stage with a few heavy hitters along the way (Joel Plaskett, Terra Lightfoot, Altameda, Elliott Brood, Old Man Luedecke, Tom Wilson, Fred Eaglesmith, Scott Cook.
Whether he’s on a festival stage or playing in your living room, Jay brings a one-man show that’s all heart and grit: open tuned slide guitar, harmonicas, kick drum, and a storyteller’s spirit that connects instantly with audiences.
"A tasteful mixture then, of inspiring melodies, harmonies and down-home goodness that revives your faith in what a solace heartfelt music can be"
- Americana UK
"Jay has a talent for staying in sync with his own sound to create a melody more complex than many solo artists, particularly within the folk/country/rock genre."
-The Permanent Rain Press
