Bringing my guitars, harmonicas, and banjo down to Barbarian Brewing (Downtown Taproom) to sit on a rickety old chair and perform some original and old-time standard tunes.
About: One local’s account: “That Connor Jay fella? Yeah, I've heard of 'em. Plays 19th century-inspired Idaho mountain music on this old beat up guitar he calls 'Pickaxe' while keeping time with the toe of his boot. Locals say he got his start playing for the crickets and crows up in the mountains above Boise. Weren’t long before his sound reached the ears of misplaced locals driving round on the backroads, who would stop and sit with him around the fire. Ol' Willie Benson says he saw the man put down a liter of Old Crow before he even finished his set — that's the rumor anyway.”
