Singer - Songwriter Jay Smar

Singer - Songwriter Jay Smar

Armed with 2 guitars, baritone vocals, claw-hammer banjo and fiddling, singing and flat-footin ‘ (a form of clog-dancing), Jay Smar serves his audience an “acoustic buffet” of traditional American and original folk, ole time mountain music, bluegrass and gospel tunes, as well as coal mining songs of Northeast Pennsylvania preceded by their origin.

Jay has toured Scotland twice, received recognition from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival twice, recorded music for the Welsh BBC movie, The Welsh in America and has been selected by the Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour to be on their professional touring roster.

Original and “covered” guitar instrumentals garnish this plate of cultural cuisine.
