Jay Nash

Jay Nash East Coast Native And Rock Troubadour Has Been Blessed With The Kind Of Excruciatingly Rustic Voice So Rarely Heard On Record. Coupled With That Is His Unnervingly Candid Approach To Song-Writing - The Man Is A Burgeoning Talent Set For Realisation With His Latest Studio Release ‘The Things You Think You Need’. It’s Certainly Refreshing To Find An Artist That Refuses To Simply Dwell On The Hard Times Instead Choosing To Bask In The Good And The Great That Life Has To Offer. At Times Almost Jovial Nash’s Charisma And Buoyant Attitude Is Infectious To The Last With A Sound Capable Of Softening The Sternest Of Hearts. From The Resplendent Urgency Of ‘Hard Lesson’ To The Elegiac ‘Barcelona’ ‘The Things You Think You Need’ Has The Potential To Surpass Anything That’s Gone Before. The Writing/recording Process For This His Fourth Studio Album Saw Nash’s Creative Spark Ignite Like Wild-Fire As He Wrestled With The Concept Of Producing An Album Laden With Variety And Character. By Drawing Inspiration From His Own Life Experiences Both Past And Present Nash’s Inspirational And Evocative Lyrical Imagery Possesses The Ability To Shatter Those Deep-Rooted Inadequacies And Musters A Feeling Of Liberation And New-Found Confidence. There’s No Sign Of An Agenda Here - Nash’s Spirited Folk Revival Offers Salvation For The Masses. Too Many Of Today’s Artists Find It Easy To Trade On A Manufactured Kinship - Creating An Unsettling Short-Term Bond With Audiences That They’re All Too Willing To Discard On A Whim. Jay Nash Is A Different Animal Altogether And His Desire To Connect With People Is Evident As He Produces That Very First Subtle Americana-Style Chord. There’s No Bravado No Ill-Placed Audacity. Nash Its Plain To See Is One Of Us - One Of The Good Guys. A Trailblazer For Passion And Hard Graft - A Man Who Knows No Limitation.
