Bio
Jay Matsueda is a singer/songwriter in Los Angeles who writes, records and performs unique, jazz-infused Adult Contemporary music both solo and with a band comprised of his L.A. friends. His voice has been described as haunting and unique - a blend of greats like Tim Buckley, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and Morrissey. The lyrics most often describe unscripted, painful situations and serve as an exploration when there is no "right" thing to do. They are crafted with "lyrical independence," meaning that they can be enjoyed as poetry without music. Yet, Matsueda's melodic musical undercurrents are so compelling in his songs that listeners can get swept away by the tunes as easily as they can derive meaning in his messages. Past performances include having opened for Robyn Hitchcock and Peter Buck of R.E.M. at the Key Club and playing all over Los Angeles in small venues, plus isolated performances in Chicago, San Francisco, Hartford and Tokyo.
