Jay Sad

About Me



In 2002, Jay produced a small quantity of his cassette recordings in a 4 mini-CD box set. A CD for every season; Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter are collections of inspired lo-fi melodies in hand-printed packaging.

With the help of a few friends, Jay went on to write and record High. The music was finally presented live in 2 packed shows in Montreal and Toronto, 2006. Jay played guitar, drums and sang; Dean played guitar, drums and sang; Rob played guitar and piano; a computer added more sound and visuals.

Goes is the most recent Jay Sad CD. It was recorded over the last few years at the famous Chemical Sound Recording Studio; which he now runs with his friend Dean.
