-------------------------This is Jays Dojo. I am a musician for a number of projects, and I record and produce under Dojo Records. I have grown to love many genres of music and and like to incorporate many influences into my playing. I was born in Harrisonburg Virginia and transplanted to Indiana at the age of 8. My first experience with music that made my heart rock was a Doc Watson LP that my parents had, "Doc Watson and the Frosty Morning Band". I still have the record. So that you understand, this is a creative, collaborative, grass roots record label that functions by offering artists a way to record and release music and be a part of a musical community without going broke. In No way does this label have major distribution or claim to be any more than what it is. However, all the folks involved with Dojo Records strive to bring their music to the ears of others and believe that music is a continual, universal language no matter what style it may be... and beyond just music, lets join hands in supporting Arts Everywhere!In the music player are projects that I am heavily involved with, most recently, the release of "Adrienna Valentine" with Trent Wagler. Dojo album roster: Goldmine Pickers self-titled album recorded by Jay Lapp, mixed and produced by Lapp and Lukas Simpson at Jays Dojo. DR-001Trent Wagler-Journal of a Barefoot Soldier was recorded/produced at Jays Dojo and I contributed with mandolin, guitar, and vocals.

Frances Miller and I teamed up for this soundtrack and I included a music clip in the player. Frances is a multi-instrumentalist playing violin and piano in the soundtrack. I played guitar, mandolin and lap steel. What came out was a mix of tradition with an ambient feel. It was recorded by NimbleWit Productions and mixed at Jays Dojo.
Other artists soon to come are: Simon Flory, B.B. Wolfe and Brian Cook. Jay's Dojo & Dojo Records is located in Goshen, Indiana. Owned by Jay Lapp.
