JAY PEA crafts infectious folk-rock ballads that reveal his distinctive, soulful and breathy voice. His disarmingly catchy melodies are both poignant and cheerful, an addictive mix of campfire confessionals and summery grooves.

Back from a stay in Senegal where he studied local music with traditional griots, Jay Pea has now teamed up with a touring band that features ex-Stills guitarist Greg Paquet.

Recorded at Piccolo Studios, the songs on the debut lp ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES reveal a classic early-70s sound tinged with both rural and tropical touches taken from Jay Pea's stays in Africa, South America and Saskatchewan.
