Jay Farrar is an American songwriter and musician currently based in St. Louis, Missouri. A veteran of two critically-acclaimed music groups, Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt, he began his solo music career in 2001.
Beyond his established talents as a songwriter, he is a well-regarded guitarist, harmonicist, and a distinctive vocalist. His music is an informed expansion of traditional American roots music.
Listening to his "Sebastopol" project. I really like it. If you're a fan of Farrar's bigger projects (Uncle Tupelo & Son Volt), be sure to check this out.
