American Roots artist Jay Bragg has been on stage performing music his entire life. Raised in New England and based out of Nashville since 2015, Jay is a 3rd generation singer-songwriter and entertainer who played his first show at age 5 and, throughout his 20-year career in music, has written hundreds of songs, recorded 13 albums with his various projects and performed well over 3600 live shows all across America, including concerts with legendary acts like Alan Jackson, Chris Stapleton and Lake Street Dive.

Jay has had considerable independent success in more traditional spaces of country and Americana music including winner of New England Music Awards ‘Country Act Of The Year’ in 2015 with his Maine-based act North of Nashville and multiple tours opening for Alan Jackson. In addition to country, Jay’s music draws on a deep well of the American Roots music he was raised on growing up in a family of musicians dating back to the early 1900s. Elements of the blues, folk, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll and traditional country are all distinct flavors in the rich gumbo that is the music of Jay Bragg.

With a commitment to harnessing the power of music for public service and a passion for the music of the Christmas season, Jay founded A Songwriter’s Christmas in 2020 - a concert series with the mission of celebrating modern-day and classic holiday music - which he specializes in writing and recording - while raising resources for music education for disadvantaged communities through his Gift of Music Project fund.

Carrying on a long family history of bringing joy to senior citizens with music, Jay regularly entertains at senior living facilities and also volunteers weekly as a musical companion for hospice patents.
