Buddy Jay and the band's unique take on the genre of Jamaican jazz have allowed them to feel comfortable sharing the stage with bands performing a meried of styles. As part of the Soul'd Out Music Festival they shared the event with the likes of Vieux Farke Toure, Charles Bradley, Mos Def, and many many more. The current lineup features members of All The Apparatus, ,Cherimoya, The Isrealites, Raffa De Alaska and the DCB, and Dauman Brothers. The Band has finished recording music for a full length record to be released on vinyl this summer. These heavy hitters always bring the party and never play a room without a dance floor. Stay tuned folks because Buddy Jay is here to stay!
