Bio
............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Orange Silk.. .. .."Aly Jay is the siren of the mountain!"- Tyrus Courssey, Kashari Television .. ..So, I hate writing these bios, but here goes. I grew up around the Yo and for those of you who aren't savy, that means Youngstown, Ohio. I took a few years of piano lessons, sang in various chiors and yes, I spent a good many years in the highschool band playing the tuba. But, singing in the chior wasn't for me and the tuba isn't really a giging instrument so during a stint at a light opera company in Wooster, Ohio, I traded in my tuba for a guitar... ..I've bounced around the West since that summer in 98 but finally put my roots down in Flagstaff, Az. In 2006, I recorded Bones in the Back Yard with my long time friend Tamsen Fynn who started Elephant Red Records. Since then I've played for all kinds of folks in all kinds of places. I recently took part in The Strength of Strings back in Youngstown, a night featuring acoustic performers and have been a steady performer for the Goddess Get Down in Flagstaff. I've had appearences on Kaff Country Radio and Koshari Television and been a featured artist for the Northern Arizona Book Festival. I'm proud to say, that I've been a part of the Flagstaff Pride in the Pines Festival for the last 3 years and opened for the likes of Chaka Khan and Sarah Bettens. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Members
Me, and sometimes those kids from Whiskey Rodeo. I've also had a bluegrass manefestation with Memphis Laundramatt
Influences
I love so much music it's hard to say and no matter what you're listening to, it gets under your skin some how... so here's what's on in my house. Janis, that goes without saying Tom Waits, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Django Reinhardt, Fiona Apple, Carrie Clark, Camille Bloom Bonnie Raitt, Indigo Girls, Sarah Bettens, They Might Be Giants, The Flogging Mollys, The White Stripes, The Pogues, The Dropkick Murphys, Ryan Adams, Waylen Jennings, Little Sue, Lucinda Williams, Grace Potter, Greg Brown, G Love and Special Sauce, and I'll admit, I'm a sucker for drama rock...Meatloaf. Also, I wouldn't be anywhere without John Powers
Sounds Like
Me? Bonnie Raitt and Ella Fitzgerald had a love child. Musically, Anita O'day, Tom Waits and Gladys Knight, had a drunken orgy. Seriously, I don't have a catagory, I think there's a little of everything.
