   About Jay Lapp
Growing up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and in northwest Indiana, Jay Lapp was surrounded by the four-part harmony of Mennonite hymns as well as music from his parents’ eclectic record collection: the Beach Boys to Doc Watson, chamber music to Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Mama’s and Papa’s to the “Blues Brothers” movie soundtrack. After a brief stint in the horn section of his junior high band, Jay picked up his first stringed instrument when he traded a BB gun for a friend’s old electric guitar. His mother taught him basic chords. After high school, Jay worked at T.G. Music (Goshen, Ind.), where he learned from storeowner, friend and mentor Tim Robie about the retail music business as well as instrument repair and sound system design. In 2000, Jay began studying guitar and mandolin with teachers at Old Town School of Folk Music (Chicago, Ill.). In 2001, Jay started building a recording studio as a grassroots approach to music recording and producing. He has recorded albums and EPs for numerous musicians and groups, encompassing a broad range of styles, and has composed and recorded original music for several independent films and theater productions. One of the songs he recorded and performed with a band he co-founded, Goldmine Pickers, was featured in a television and radio commercial for Nissan-Europe in 2006. Goldmine Pickers has released two albums, an eponymous CD that came out in 2004, and 2007’s “Lonesome Gone”; Jay wrote numerous songs on each recording. A full-time musician, Jay currently performs with Goldmine Pickers and East Coast-based musician Trent Wagler and the Steel Wheels, for which he has produced and co-produced three albums. He joins numerous solo artists and bands for special projects and events, and has taught mandolin and guitar lessons. He now lives in Ann Arbor, Mich., with his wife, Jessica, and their dog, Bean.

"Welcome to Jay's Dojo". I am a musician for a number of projects, and I record and produce under Dojo Records. I have grown to love many genres of music and and like to incorporate many influences into my playing. I was born in Harrisonburg Virginia and transplanted to Indiana at the age of 8. My first experience with music that made my heart rock was a Doc Watson LP that my parents had, "Doc Watson and the Frosty Morning Band". I still have the record.

In the music player are projects that I am heavily involved with, most recently, the release of "Adrienna Valentine" with Trent Wagler.

Dojo album roster:

Goldmine Pickers self-titled album recorded by Jay Lapp, mixed and produced by Lapp and Lukas Simpson at Jays Dojo. DR-001

Trent Wagler-Journal of a Barefoot Soldier was recorded/produced at Jays Dojo and I contributed with mandolin, guitar, and vocals. DR-002

Trent Wagler and the Steel Wheels "Blue Heaven" was recorded by NimbleWit Productions (Nate Butler), mixed/produced by J. Lapp and T. Wagler and additional recording at Jays Dojo. DR-003

Goldmine Pickers "Lonesome Gone" was recorded by Gabriel Hershberger and Jay Lapp at Jays Dojo, and produced by Gabriel Hershberger & Goldmine Pickers. DR-004

Adrienna Valentine was recorded and produced by Jay Lapp, Gabriel Hershberger, and Trent Wagler at Jays Dojo. DR-005

MUSIC FOR FILM: Pearl Diver-independant 2004 ProudCut Films pearldivermovie.com

Frances Miller and I teamed up for this soundtrack and I included a music clip in the player. Frances is a multi-instrumentalist playing violin and piano in the soundtrack. I played guitar, mandolin and lap steel. What came out was a mix of tradition with an ambient feel. It was recorded by NimbleWit Productions and mixed at Jays Dojo.

Other artists soon to come are: Simon Flory, B.B. Wolfe and Brian Cook.

Jay's Dojo & Dojo Records is located in Goshen, Indiana. Owned by Jay Lapp.

We were hoping you'd be in town on the 18th to play with Trent for our CD Release- looks like we'll have to wait until October. Nonetheless- we hope you're doing well and enjoying your first month in matrimony.

Cheers,
