Nashville, TN (October 21, 2013) - - Country up-and-comer Jay Jolley makes his Music City debut on Tuesday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m. with a five-song, full-band set on The Billy Block Show at Mercy Lounge's High Watt Room (One Cannery Row).  The Show streams live online and is archived via USTREAM servers at www.billyblock.com.  For more information, call (615) 251-3020.

 

Jolley is creating a stir with his current single, the high-impact Charlie Daniels/Doug Johnson/Kim Williams composition, "God Save Us All From Religion."  The track is moving up the national charts and the video, which premiered globally last month, is in rotation on ZUUS Country, Heartland (formerly TNN), CMT.com, CMT Mobile, GACTV.com and Zuus.com.  The mood-infused clip, produced by Sean Babas (Monster Energy Drink, Chevrolet's Camaro, Dallas Lovato, Big Sean), is also streaming on-demand on Clear Channel, Buzz Net and Yallwire/Blastro/Roxwell.  Fans can watch it online by clicking HERE.

 

Jay Jolley performs at Common Ground Festival in Michigan

 

A pianist with a soulful touch and a singer with incredible range and passion, Jolley is a new name to local club-goers.  However, he's honed his stage chops and made a name for himself playing State Fairs and Festivals across the Midwest, and overseas at the National Rodeo Association (Mexico), Piccadilly Circus (UK) and on the beach in Masalia (France).  Jay has opened shows (with his own band, as lead singer for The Notorious Johnnys or as frontman and keyboardist for the band 2XL) for top-tier acts The Black Crowes, Sass Jordan, Rick Springfield, Burton Cummings, John Alec Entwistle and UFO.

 

Jay knows that Nashville's "rooms" are tougher than most, so he's bringing along his own band of "name" entertainers and pickers.  Most of the audience should recognize: Ron Pirrone / Electric Guitar (songwriter who has opened for Rick Springfield, Burton Cummings) and Roy Caldwell / Acoustic Guitar (singer/songwriter who has opened for Mick Fleetwood, BTO The Cult, Shooting Star, Kim Mitchell).  Hot players include: John Howard / Bass Guitar (Faith Hill, Randy Owen, Randy Travis, Phil Vassar, Lee Greenwood, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw) and Chuck Tilley / Drums (Dolly Parton, Lee Greenwood, Engelbert Humperdinck, Jewel, Al Jarreau, Delbert McClinton).
