Grayson TY

Western Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Grayson Ty has mastered the art of vulnerability. Entirely unpretentious, his stage presence is easy, genuine, and unguarded. In an era of so much disconnection and artifice, Grayson brings audiences together with his honest, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful, soothing voice.

Following a sold-out release show for his debut EP Believe, Grayson has shared the stage with American Idol winner Nick Fradiani, Heather Maloney (Signature Sounds), and Crystal Bowersox (American Idol runner-up) among others. Believe earned regional and international acclaim as Grayson toured extensively.

Grayson’s impeccable songwriting brings out the best of his full range, from R&B crooning and folk-inspired storytelling to masterful pop riffs and earnest lyrics. He believes deeply in the connective power of music, working as a music therapist by day, and collaborating as cowriter with other songwriters.

Grayson most recent single, “Fall Again”, has rapidly gained over 29,000 streams on Spotify, and was highly-reviewed by journals across the United States and Europe. His music can be found an all platforms, as well as at his website: Facebook | Instagram | Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube

About It's a 'J' thing

The trio was established in the spring of 2016. Members Jessica Kelly, Jackie Turner, and James Caruso had previously played together with Aid to Navigation (2008-2016). When the group parted ways, the J’s came together to form It’s a J Thing.

The group has a dynamic sound boasting vocals from lead singer Jessica Kelly, a unique and powerful sound from Jackie Turner’s violin, and a solid core established by the guitar and singing of James Caruso. The group mixes in original tunes with a wide variety of cover songs spanning any music lover’s catalog.
