After being unheard of in the Minnesota music scene for well over a year, Jay Jay re-emerged with a new drive and a new music style that is hard to ignore. Drawing heavily from the close attention to detail of indie rock, the introspective reflections of emo, the story-telling of folk, and the fury of punk rock, A Sunken Ship Irony creates something undeniably unique. With deeply layered recorded tracks and a powerful live performance, this is one highly explosive act! Watch for Jay Jay on tour this summer, sometimes with appearances by a guest musician or two...

Hey A Sunken Ship Irony - hope all is well in your world.
All of our music is up on iTunes (and a bunch of other online music distributors). It would be awesome if you wanted to download a couple of our tracks - help us fund our next album! :)
Hey how's it going? Just wanted to stop by and let you know from June 21 through the 28th we are having free downloads for our EP! Check out our latest blog for info on it. Don't be a stranger come by and say hi!!
We appreciate that you're doing your own thing and glad that you're our friend!
I wanted to share an insight that I had recently. Blood Root Mother really believe in the power of music. Genuine music transcends all limitations and boundaries, and happens when musicians and listeners are communicating with one another on the deepest level possible. In a society overcome by an obsession with flashy images and stale radio hits, we seek to do something that shakes the foundation of the status quo. Since the dawn of human civilization, music has been about sharing humanity and truly connecting with others. So stay connected with us, and join us on our journey.
Peace, Elliot
The artistic activity does not lie in art itself as such. It penetrates into a deeper world in which all art forms flow together, and in which the harmony of soul and cosmos in the nothing has its outcome in reality. -Bruce Lee
Blessings,
Have you forgot about me already...LOL....
This is just a reminder that the Crossroads EP is in its final stage of completion!!!
You can always Download my music for FREE....Jesus did not pimp the word of God and ask for money and I will follow in His footsteps!!!
There is an opportunity for you to Donate...I have teamed up with Feed My Starving Children...so if you decide to purchase the EP from iTunes for example....ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THEM...There are children dying of hunger out there so this is my opportunity to help! But if choose not to...that is ok.
Download for free and share the word of God with someone who needs it.
I thank you for your continued support...I am really humbled by the response.
Look for me in your town...soon...and if you don't see me there...holla at me...WE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
Your Brother in Christ,
