The Jaywalkers

About Me

The Jaywalkers are veteran Louisville musicians who love Etta. Ray. Koko. Booker T. Dylan. Bonnie. SRV. Stax. Chess. Motown. Memphis. Chicago. Philly. Detroit. We love a sweet slide guitar and bass and percussion and harp and a vocal that can tear your heart out. We can veer off to Santana or John Meyer or Los Lonely Boys. But we always come back to the basics. Keepin' it simple.
