The Official Jay Rakes Band Site

  2010 J Kirkman          

                                                              

Jay Rakes, leader of The Jay Rakes Band, is considered to be a leader and innovator of driving guitar focused music on the Eastern Seaboard. His influences are many, and include rock legends Steve Morse, Joe Satriani,
Frank Marino and Gary Moore.

The Jay Rakes Band is Jay's second rockin' band and has further enabled him
to continue his expansion on his musical vision.

Musicians featured on the "Perfect Tension" CD are Alan Felder on drums and
George Gaydos on bass.

Jay is currently backed by a powerhouse rhythm section that
includes Bill Landon on bass and Cody Thorton on Drums.

On JRB's debut CD, "Perfect Tension", you will hear every member
shine through on each track. Once you hear the music clips
it will be easy to see why the Jay Rakes Band is a "must see" - whether they open for a National Act (like Pat Travers Band /Yngwie Malmsteen & King's X), or if you are lucky enough to get in the door when they play a venue as the
headliner.

Either way, JRB will knock you on your ass with the wall of sound and the intricate musicianship and writing, sure to amaze every ear.
