A masterful acoustic guitarist, Jay Mankita's styles range from blues, bluegrass, and ballads, through ragtime, swing, and samba, and from old standards to quirky originals. His songs speak to the human condition, with honesty, compassion, and a healthy dose of humorous insight. Jay's concerts are intimate and hopeful, thought provoking, irreverently funny, and musically refreshing. A typical concert includes songs on ecology, dogs, peace, food, justice, baseball, physics, soap, cliches, bread, girlfriends, rain, worms, socialism, aliens, body parts, mistakes, the constant struggle to understand life, death, and love, and the eternal search for the present moment. Jay lives in a cemetery in Western Massachusetts, and tours in a vegetable oil-powered van. | ||||
