Jay Hoad

Seventeen instruments on stage, one person playing them. Jay Hoad's one man band show is built around his own material, and the range of it explains why he's been booked so widely: WOMAD, Big Day Out, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Bluesfest territory, and further afield at Uprising Festival in Fiji, the Bob Marley Music Fest and Musikfest in the States, Saarang in India and Spirit Festival in Indonesia. In 2013 he toured North America supporting the Wailers. The set can run funk and high energy, or drop back to acoustic, or move into didgeridoo and island rhythms. Covers sit in Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd, Michael Franti, John Butler and Bob Marley country. Sound system, lighting and crew come with the booking.
