Honestly, everything about Jay was brilliant. He’s a true professional. Aside from his incredible musicianship, he is just a great human to be around and so so easy to collaborate with. Such a pure and genuine guy all around. His passion for music and people is so apparent through his work. He helped make my Grandfather’s funeral so special. Everyone loved him! If I could leave a million 5 star reviews I would. Jay Bragg is someone I feel extremely lucky to be in proximity with now. He is the real deal and I can’t wait to work with him again!
